Latin
5There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech.
6There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time.
7A wise man will hold his peace till he see opportunity: but a babbler, and a fool, will regard no time.
