16 And I have waited, because they did not speak,Because they stood still and answered no more.
19 [a]So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, (A)slow to speak, (B)slow to wrath;
13 Therefore (A)the prudent keep silent at that time,For it is an evil time.
28 (A)Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
5 Oh, that you would be silent,And (A)it would be your wisdom!
