Commentary on Proverbs 12:23

Theological / Devotional

Concealeth knowledge. The prudent man does not hold his peace with intent to deceive, but from modesty and wise caution. It is a lack of wisdom and modesty that makes the fool utter whatever may chance to come into his mind (see chs. 12:16; 13:16; 15:2).
