| 27 | One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, || And the cool of temper [is] a man of understanding. | 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 fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, || He who is shutting his lips [seems] intelligent! | 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. | |
