Hold your peace, and I will speak.

Speak, for I desire to justify you.
³³ If not, ^(A)listen to me;
^[a]Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

¹³ “Hold^[a] your peace with me, and let me speak,
Then let come on me what may!

⁴ “I^(A) am one mocked by his friends,
Who ^(B)called on God, and He answered him,
The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
⁵ A ^[a]lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;
It is made ready for ^(C)those whose feet slip.
