Proverbs 17:28 – “Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.”
My grandfather often said: “if you can’t improve on silence then don’t speak.”
He lived by that adage.
He was a man of few but weighty words.
It’s only the Holy Spirit who can hold a believer’s tongue!
And often the believer’s tongue needs holding!
