Self-Control

Published by Kent at 7:57 am under Scripture

The one who knows much says little;
an understanding person remains calm.

Proverbs 17:27 (The Message)

He who has knowledge spares his words,
And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

Proverbs 17:27 (New King James Version)

A truly wise person uses few words;
a person with understanding is even-tempered.

Proverbs 17:27 (New Living Translation)
