Hey,
Johnathan Edwards, in one of his diaries, talked about how it was important for him not to show off his intellectual abilities to other people, and he cites Proverbs 12:23 in support of that view.
Is this what Proverbs 12:23 is saying? Is it saying that it's wise for us not to show off our knowledge? Or could it be saying that we need to keep secrets?

Proverbs 12:23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
