Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise

The Bible is full of wisdom and teachings that have stood the test of time. One such proverb that is often quoted is “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise.” This simple yet profound statement highlights the importance of knowing when to speak and when to remain silent.

In the book of Proverbs, which is known for its practical advice on how to live a wise and righteous life, this proverb is found in chapter 17, verse 28. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is better to keep quiet and listen rather than to speak impulsively and say something foolish. By holding one’s peace, even a fool can appear wise in the eyes of others.

This concept is echoed in other parts of the Bible as well. In the book of James, it is written, “Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19). This verse emphasizes the importance of listening and being thoughtful in our words and actions. By being slow to speak and quick to listen, we can avoid saying things that we may later regret.
