A t-shirt worn by a friend had me asking
myself several questions. What verse is that? What was happening in Job’s life
to precipitate this question? Is this relevant today as seemingly“wise” counsel might only be someone’s opinion? Just their view and not God’s. How is this
scripture, Job 13:5, speaking to me?
If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom. (NIV)
If only you could be silent! That's the wisest thing you could do. (ESV)
O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom! (NASB)
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. (KJV)
Regardless of the version, I see this as a truth, which I,
more often than I like, don’t exercise in my life.
After musing interrogatively, with lots of different
questions, I wrote out my own version.
You (Dotsy) would be wise to keep your mouth shut. (DAL)
It’s the gift that I need to give hubby
more often than I do.
That’s my musing. What’s yours?
