Proverbs 17:28

28 Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent.

Proverbs 17:28 In-Context

26 To impose a fine on the innocent is not right, or to flog the noble for their integrity.
27 One who spares words is knowledgeable; one who is cool in spirit has understanding.
28 Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent.
