'Discreet' in the Bible

"I, wisdom, am related to prudence. I know how to be discreet.

The king’s favor and good will are toward a servant who acts wisely and discreetly,But his anger and wrath are toward him who acts shamefully.

The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters [copious and difficult to fathom];The fountain of [mature, godly] wisdom is like a bubbling stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].

If you scourge a scoffer, the simple person may learn to be discreet; rebuke a discerning man and he will gain understanding.

The sluggard is wiser in his own eyesThan seven men who can give a discreet answer.
