Proverbs 13:16
King James Version
“Every prudent dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open folly.”
Context
13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14The law of the wise a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors hard.
16Every prudent dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open folly.
17A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador health.
18Poverty and shame him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but abomination to fools to depart from evil.
