Proverbs 17:27 [AMP] He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words, And a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, an even temper).
(2) All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions], But the LORD weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth].
(26) Those who fear the LORD are secure; he will be a refuge to their children. (27) Fear of the LORD is a life-giving fountain; it offers escape from the snares of death.
