Proverbs 17:26

24 Wisdom is the focus of the discerning, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.

It is surely not good to punish the innocent or to flog a noble for his honesty.

27 A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.

28 Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent, and discerning when he holds his tongue.
