Holy Scripture
Job 32:14
A church father on this verse
“"He has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your speeches." I was not involved, as you know, in his debate, nor did he provoke me to bitterness after assuming the intention to speak against me. Therefore, the words that I speak are not suggested by indignation but by reason.”

12And I shall understand as far as you; And, behold, there was no one of you That answered Job his words in argument,
13Lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
— Job 32:14 —
15They were afraid, they answered no longer; They gave up their speaking.
16I waited (for I had not spoken), Because they stood still, they answered not.
