"There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time."
Nel contesto
4How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance! for so thou shalt escape wilful sin.
5There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech.
6There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time.
7A wise man will hold his peace till he see opportunity: but a babbler, and a fool, will regard no time.
8He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated.
