I have been reading in Proverbs and Psalms a lot lately. I enjoy the simple messages and beautiful praises found in those books. I am not sure whether I came upon this scripture tonight because I have met so many fools with big mouths lately, or because I have been one myself.
Proverbs 17:28 says "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." (KJV)
Then, I followed the references and found another gem in Job 13:5 "O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom." Yes, the exclamation point is there in the original scripture.
Amen.
