Proverbs 17:26-28
New International Reader's Version
26 It isn’t good to fine those who aren’t guilty.
So it certainly isn’t good to whip officials just because they are honest.
27 Anyone who has knowledge controls their words.
Anyone who has understanding is not easily upset.
28 We think even foolish people are wise if they keep silent.
We think they understand what is right if they control their tongues.
