"If only you would keep completely silent! For you, that would be wisdom."
— Job 13:5, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 you know, I know also; I am not inferior to you!
But I wish to speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.
But you, however, are inventors of lies; all of you are worthless physicians!
If only you would keep completely silent! For you, that would be wisdom.
“Listen now to my argument, and be attentive to my lips’ contentions.
Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him?
Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God?
