| 27 | Whoever has knowledge controls his words, and a person who has understanding is even-tempered. | Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. | The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered. | |
| 28 | Even a stubborn fool is thought to be wise if he keeps silent. He is considered intelligent if he keeps his lips sealed. | Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. | Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues. | |
