If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

Oh that you would keep silent, and it would be your wisdom!

If only you could be silent! That’s the wisest thing you could do.

“ So be quiet and let me speak. Then I won’t care what happens to me.

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.

“ Job, when will you stop these speeches of yours? Be reasonable! Then we can talk.

Your speeches go on forever. Won’t they ever end? What’s wrong with you? Why do you keep on arguing?
