Do I have to keep on waiting, now that they are silent? They are just standing there with nothing to say.
I wish you would keep your mouths shut! Then people would think you were wise.
“Job, these men are afraid. They don’t have anything else to say. They’ve run out of words.
I too have something to say. I too will tell what I know.
We think even foolish people are wise if they keep silent. We think they understand what is right if they control their tongues.
So those who are wise keep quiet in times like these. That’s because the times are evil.
My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.
