PROVERBS 11:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.”
Contempt of the wise: Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but the one with understanding holds their tongue. Derision (kalah) indicates contempt. The wise person 'holds their tongue,' showing restraint. Wisdom includes knowing when not to speak disparaging words. The sensible person recognizes that mockery damages relationships.
