Shall I wait because you do not speak, because they stand still, answering no more?
Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
So the understanding ones shall keep silent in that time; for it is an evil time.
Even a fool, when he is silent, is counted wise, and he who shuts his lips is counted as a man of understanding.
Oh that you would stop speaking entirely! And it would be your wisdom.
They are broken; they answer no more; words have left them.
I also will answer my part; I also will declare my wisdom.
