SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:11

¶ El loco da rienda suelta a todo su espíritu; mas el sabio al fin lo sosiega.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:11

Verse 11. A fool uttereth all his mindl A man should be careful to keep his own secret, and never tell his whole mind upon any subject, while there are other opinions yet to be delivered; else, if he speak again, he must go over his old ground; and as he brings out nothing new, he injures his former argument.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. A fool uttereth all his mind , etc.] At once; tells all he knows, all that is in his breast; whatever he thinks, and all that he intends to do; what or whom he loves or hates. Or, “a fool brings out all his wrath”; so the Targum, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions: he cannot restrain it, nor hide it; it breaks out at once, even all of it, and is soon known, as in ( Proverbs 12:16); but a wise [man] keepeth it in till afterwards ; reserves his mind, and thoughts, and designs, to himself; and does not discover them until a proper opportunity offers, when to disclose them is most to advantage; or he restrains his wrath and anger, defers showing it to a proper time, when it may answer a better purpose, and he may do it without sin.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11 - He is a fool who tells every thing he knows, and can keep no counsel.
