The Proverb Challenge
Day 17
The one who knows much says little; an understanding person remains calm.
Proverbs 17:27 MSG
A man of many words is not necessarily a man of wisdom. Wise folks don't talk too much or anyhow.
They speak when it is time for them to speak. They don't seek for audience because they want to speak. The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
A man show himself to be a wise man, by the good temper of his mind, and by the good government of his tongue. He is careful when he does speak, to speak to the purpose.
Wise folks speaks but no necessarily so much and their words are knowledge-filled, purposeful, precise and straight to the point.
Unlike the foolish ones, they listen less and talk more...
Main Point: Loquaciousness doesn't not necessarily translate to Wisdom
