# Intelligence, Proverbs


Even fools, keeping silent, are considered wise; if they keep their lips closed, intelligent.

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 28

[17:28] Related to v. 27. Words provide a glimpse into the heart. In the unlikely event that fools, who usually pour out words (15:2), were to say nothing, people would not be able to see their folly and would presume them intelligent. Alas, the saying is contrary to fact.

미련한 자도 잠잠하면 지혜로워 보이고 입술을 닫고 있으면 슬기로워 보인다.

+ 구약성경 잠언 17, 28
