⁵ O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

³ For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

¹³ Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

¹³ Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

¹ So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

² Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

³ Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

² How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?

² How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

³ Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

³ Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
