Proverbs 17:28–"Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent."
For someone who is prone to speaking when it would be best to remain quiet, this verse is provocatively profound. In reality, I have confirmed this verse to be true many times. But even with all this experience I am still prone to foolishness, opening my mouth to speak when it would be best to keep it shut tight. Who knows, maybe I could sound wise by not making a sound at all!
