Job 32:16

Shall I continue to wait, since they're no longer talking? After all, they're only standing there; they're no longer responding.

I wish you'd all just shut up. Then at least you would appear to be wise.

Even a fool is thought to be wise when he remains silent; he is thought to be prudent when he keeps his mouth shut.

therefore the prudent person remains silent at such a time, for the time is evil.

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

I wish you'd all just shut up. Then at least you would appear to be wise.

Even a fool is thought to be wise when he remains silent; he is thought to be prudent when he keeps his mouth shut.

therefore the prudent person remains silent at such a time, for the time is evil.

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
