Job 13:4-5

Job 13:4-5 King James Version (KJV)

4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.




Job 13:4-5 Good News Translation (GNT)



4 You cover up your ignorance with lies;

you are like doctors who can't heal anyone.

5 Say nothing, and someone may think you are wise!

These are my thoughts, please share yours.



4 Many ties because people don’t understand they just lean on lies they tell or the lies they have been told because its easy to find lies in this world then to find the truth. Doctors who cant heal anyone are ineffective going to someone who isn’t a doctor is as effective as going to one who cant help you heal.



5 Job just wanted them to stop talking. Job wanted silence so maybe who could think maybe so he could pray and look to the Lord maybe he just wanted them to stop talking because nothing they were saying was helpful even though they were trying to help all they said were harmful because they didn’t truly know Job’s heart. Sometimes being wise is knowing when to talk and when to be silent.
