I wish you would keep silent. For you, that would be wisdom.
Should your empty talk silence others so that you can make fun of us without any shame?
Be quiet, because I want to speak. Let whatever may happen to me ⌞happen⌟!
Please listen to my argument, and pay attention to my plea.
Will ⌞your⌟ long-winded speeches never end? What disturbs you that you keep on answering ⌞me⌟?
“How long before your words will end? Think it through, and then we’ll talk.
“How long will you torment me and depress me with words?
Look at me, and be shocked, and put ⌞your⌟ hand over ⌞your⌟ mouth.

Should I wait because they don’t speak, because they stand there and don’t have any more answers?

Daydreaming comes when there are too many worries. Careless speaking comes when there are too many words.
That is why a wise person remains silent at such times, because those times are so evil.
Remember this, my dear brothers and sisters: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and should not get angry easily.
