Proverbs 17:26 Context
24Wisedome is before him that hath vnderstanding: but the eyes of a foole are in the ends of the earth. 25A foolish sonne is a griefe to his father, & bitternes to her that bare him. 26Also to punish the iust is not good, nor to strike princes for equitie. 27He that hath knowledge, spareth his words: and a man of vnderstanding is of an excellent spirit. 28Euen a foole, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips, is esteemed a man of vnderstanding.
