Proverbs 17:26-28 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

26. Also, to punish a righteous person is not good, nor to beat up an honorable one for his integrity.

27. One with knowledge restrains his words, and a discerning person stays calm.

28. Even a fool, who keeps quiet, is considered wise, discerning, if he seals his lips.
