Proverbs 17:26-28 God's Word Translation (GW)

26. To punish an innocent person is not good.To strike down noble people is not right.

27. Whoever has knowledge controls his words,and a person who has understanding is even-tempered.

28. Even a stubborn fool is thought to be wise if he keeps silent.He is considered intelligent if he keeps his lips sealed.
