Proverbs 17:26-28

Tree of Life Version

²⁶ Also, to punish a righteous person is not good,
nor to beat up an honorable one for his integrity.
²⁷ One with knowledge restrains his words,
and a discerning person stays calm.
²⁸ Even a fool, who keeps quiet, is considered wise,
discerning, if he seals his lips.
