5:13
5:13
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
KJV
{Therefore a prudent man shall be still in that time, for the time is evil.} Wycliffe's Bible
The prudent shall keep silence - A wise man will consider that it is useless to complain. He can have no justice without bribes; and he has no money to give: consequently, in such an evil time, it is best to keep silence.
