Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There’s a quip (or maybe a proverb?) that goes like this: “It’s better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” People have attributed the quote to Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln, and several others.

Proverbs 17:28 says “Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.” In an age of oversharing – we will take a look at the Biblical counsel about when NOT to talk.
