(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the prudent - the spiritually wise.
shall keep silence - not mere silence of tongue, but the prudent shall keep himself quiet from taking part in any public or private affairs which he can avoid: as it is “an evil time,” and one in which all law is set at naught. Eph 5:16 refers to this. Instead of impatiently agitating against irremediable evils, the godly wise will not cast pearls before swine, who would trample these, and rend the offerers (Mat 7:6), but will patiently wait for God’s time of deliverance in silent submission (Psa 39:9).
