“Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly” (Proverbs 13:16).

Deal with knowledge — reject evil surmisings — avoid jumping to conclusions — beware of reading between the lines — stick to the facts.

I think Fellow E (and possibly others?) is avoiding me because of what Fellow S might have said about/against me. It appears Fellow J may have tried to take action against me because of Fellow S.

Do you see the absence of knowledge?!

Like it says in Zechariah 8:17 — “And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour.”

OK, fine — but what if the evil is a matter of knowledge rather than just imaginings?

“The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.” (Proverbs 15:2).

I need prudence and wisdom to deal only with knowledge…and that in a right way.
