Exegesis
The temporal preposition bə-ʾākhôr {בְּאָח֥וֹר | bə-ʾākhôr} signals delay before the Piel imperfect yəšabbḥenāh {יְשַׁבְּחֶֽנָּה | yəšabbḥenāh} ‘he restrains it,’ where the Piel stem emphasizes intensive self-restraint.
In context — Proverbs 29:11
A fool brings out all his spirit , but a wise man quietly holds it back .
