Verse from Ecclesiastes

“听智慧人安安静静说出来的话,胜过听管理愚昧者的人的喊叫。”
传道书 9:17

“The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.”
Ecclesiastes 9:17

Scripture warns us not to be wise in our own eyes or proud (Prov. 3:7; Isa. 5:21; Rom. 12:16). In other words, let’s not assume that we have all the answers! Proverbs 19:20 says, “Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.” Whether it is a friend, a spouse, a pastor, or a co-worker, God can use others to teach us more of His wisdom.
 “Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning,” declares the book of Proverbs (14:33). Part of recognizing the Spirit’s wisdom is discovering how to listen and learn from each other.

True wisdom begins and ends with God.
