¹⁶ And shall I wait, because they do not speak,
    because they stand there, and answer no more?

¹³ Therefore he who is prudent will ^(A)keep silent in such a time,
    ^(B)for it is an evil time.

²⁸ Even a fool ^(A)who keeps silent is considered wise;
    when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

⁵ Oh that you would ^(A)keep silent,
    and it would be your wisdom!
