Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is esteemed as prudent.

Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.

Και αυτος ο αφρων, οταν σιωπα λογιζεται σοφος· και ο κλειων τα χειλη αυτου, συνετος.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
