King James Version
"O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom."
— Job 13:5, King James Version
“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.”
What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
