Hold your peace!
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's friends were quick to judge and try to convince him that he had sinned against God, and was thereby the author of his own distress. Is this not a lesson to us when a friend is in a strait place, to encourage them to seek God - sure, repent of any sins, but to comfort those who mourn, not to add to their burden by insisting that suffering is only caused by sin. Satan was behind all Job's sufferings!
