Ecclesiastes 9:17

WYC

NIV

17 The words of wise men be heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools. (The words of the wise should be heard in silence, much more than the loud cry of a leader of a group of fools.)
17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.
