Proverbs 12:23

Proverbs 12:23

A prudent man concealeth knowledge.

Concealing knowledge

I. When it is opportune (John 16:12).

II. When it is above the capacity of his hearers (1 Corinthians 2:2).

III. When likely to be misapplied (Mark 15:5).

IV. When sure of rejection (Matthew 7:6).

V. When calculated to injure the brethren (Leviticus 19:16).

VI. When to utter it would be only for self-display (Proverbs 27:2). (R. A. Griffin.)
