Proverbs 17:28 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. — Proverbs 17:28
If we would get knowledge and grace, we must try all methods of improving ourselves.
Source Coverage: Proverbs 17:27-28
A man may show himself to be a wise man, by the good temper of his mind, and by the good government of his tongue. He is careful when he does speak, to speak to the purpose. God knows his heart, and the folly that is bound there; therefore he cannot be deceived in his judgment as men may be.
