If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.


Job 13:5

lolShould christians take this biblical advice?
Yes. if u are talking against God, then being silent would be wisdom. Job's friends were saying things that were wrong about God, so Job rebuked them and told them to keep quiet.





read the verses after that.





5 鈥淥 that you would be completely silent,


And that it would become your wisdom!


6 鈥淧lease hear my argument


And listen to the contentions of my lips.


7 鈥淲ill you speak what is unjust for God,


And speak what is deceitful for Him?


8 鈥淲ill you show partiality for Him?


Will you contend for God?


9 鈥淲ill it be well when He examines you?


Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?


10 鈥淗e will surely reprove you


If you secretly show partiality.


11 鈥淲ill not His majesty terrify you,


And the dread of Him fall on you?


12 鈥淵our memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,


Your defenses are defenses of clay.








Try and understand it and dont waste ur time trying to find fault with it. it is the Word of God and is more upto date than tomorrow's newspaper. you can find answers to all ur questions in it if u wish to find it.








God bless you.
If you read that ';advice'; in proper context, you will find that Job's friends were making ridiculous remarks. But since you claim no belief in the Bible what does it matter to you?
Job was talking to his not so helpful friends. They accused him of doing sinful things and accused him of being self-righteous.


They did not know that God was allowing satan to test Job. .
Yes, because, if everyone was to be silent, they can enjoy listening to another person (altogether)
Classic choad-like behaviour...Job, taken out of context...you seem to be screaming for an education.
Job was talking too much and not listening. It just shows you, we ought to shut up and listen to God more often.
That is pulled entirely out of context, I have never seen a better example than this.
Every one should only take the buy-bull tongue in cheek.
I also like the bit about praying in private. That would be good advice for them too.
Yes sometimes saying nothing is the best thing to do. If I only could take my own advice.
That's taken out of context. Job is addressing his critics and people who contend God's will.
( Translation )


GOD'S WORD


I wish you would keep silent. For you, that would be wisdom.
I think that bit of wisdom was meant for you.





Don't you have homework that you should be doing?
Not just Christians.....
Just because you may not want to hear what we have to say. That does not mean that we have to stop saying it.
No. The battle lines have been drawn. God is looking for warriors now.
Oom Mah. You said penis. Repent!
Sure, why not. :)
the verse right before speaks of liars and im not...


Dyk the Bible should never be used as a weapon???
Not at all, the 3 men Job is talking to get told by God of their foolishness in Job 42 of what they are saying.





We should find wisdom first....


Proverbs 1:7 (The Message)


7 Start with God鈥攖he first step in learning is bowing down to God;


only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.








Then do what Jesus said!


Matthew 28


18 Then Jesus came to them and said, ';All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.


19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,


20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.





We are to teach and you are to be silent and listen and learn.





May your learn as well as ask.
