and a person who has understanding is even-tempered. 

27 The intelligent person restrains his words,

and one who keeps a cool head

is a man of understanding.

27 One who spares words is knowledgeable;

one who is cool in spirit has understanding.

27 He who spares his sayings knows knowledge,

and a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

27 Anyone who has knowledge controls his words.

A man who has understanding is not easily upset.

27 He who restrains his words has knowledge,

And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
