It is our job as believers to give out the knowledge that we have. To know a building is on fire an not warn any of the residents is just as bad as starting the fire yourself.
"The lips of the wise disperse knowledge [sifting it as chaff from the grain]; not so the mind of the self-confident and foolish." Proverbs 15:7, Amplified
The Amplified version adds the imagery of the chaff that the New King James does not posses. When reading the verse from the New King James, it seems that the Bible suggests that the wise disperse the knowledge that they have of God and the devil, heaven and hell. But the Amplified takes it a step further to suggest that the wise go as far as to separate the useless knowledge to give people the meat that they need. Chaff is a part of the grain, but it holds no value for the eater. To take that away from the recipient takes away information that need not be sifted through. Think of it like teaching someone how to bake a cake. If you add information about where all the product came from, it detracts from the original purpose of making a cake. The foolish do not do so. They love to convolute things whether they be the truth or not.
