Proverbs 17:26-28

Revised Standard Version

²⁶ To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good;
    to flog noble men is wrong.
²⁷ He who restrains his words has knowledge,
    and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
²⁸ Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
    when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
