"And I wish that you would remain silent, so that you would be counted among the wise. "
— Job 13:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.”
“Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom. ”
“Oh that you would be completely silent! Then you would be wise.”
“If only you would keep completely silent! For you, that would be wisdom.”
“And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men.”
“If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!”
“O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.”
In conformity with your knowledge, I also know. I am not inferior to you.
Yet I speak this way to the Almighty, and I desire to argue with God,
having first shown that you fabricate lies and cultivate perverse teachings.
And I wish that you would remain silent, so that you would be counted among the wise.
Therefore, listen to my correction, and pay attention to the judgment of my lips.
Does God require your lie, so that you would speak deceitfully for him?
Have you taken his place, and do you struggle to give judgment in favor of God?
