A Wise Man

A wise man "sifts" what he will share
And how much knowledge he will "air",
Lest others bend what he has said
And on his wisdom they will tread.

The fool just doesn't want to hear
Or to the truth come very near.
His willful ways make him quite blind.
To foolishness he is inclined.

Knowledge spoken to a fool
Is "wealth" that he may ridicule.
So a wise man will be slow...
His words he will discreetly "sow".

"A prudent man concealeth knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness."
Proverbs 12:23 KJV

"Wisdom rests (silently) in the mind and heart of him who has understanding."
Proverbs 14:33 Amplified bible
