Proverbs12:23
23. A prudent man concealeth knowledge : but the heart of Fools proclaimeth foolishness .
He doth not vain-gloriously and unseasonably utter what he knows, but keeps it in his breast till he hath a fit occasion to bring it forth for Gods Glory and the good of others.
Whilest he makes ostentation of his knowledge, he betrays his Ignorance and Folly. Compare Eccles. 10. 3.
