Proverbs 17:27-18:1
New International Version
27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint,(A)
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.(B)
28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues.(C)

and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.

Proverbs 17:27-18:1
King James Version
27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
18 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
