Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 17:27
27. Hath knowledge Literally, knoweth knowledge. Spareth… words Is not voluble, but when he speaketh, uttereth words of weighty meaning. Excellent spirit קר רוח , ( kar ruahh,) cool of spirit; so written, but the Masorites read יקר , ( yekar,) precious or excellent of spirit. Many critics prefer the former, taking it in the sense of gentle, quiet. Some would read, A man of calm spirit is a man of discernment. Compare Proverbs 10:19; Psalms 39:3; James 1:19. read more
