Job 13:4,5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Ye are forgers of lies That is, authors of false doctrine, namely, that great afflictions are peculiar to hypocrites and wicked men. All physicians of no value Unfaithful and unskilful; prescribing bad remedies: and misapplying good ones. O that ye would altogether hold your peace The best proof of your wisdom would be never to say a word more of these matters; for then your ignorance and folly would be concealed, which are now made manifest by your speaking concerning what you do not understand. Thus Solomon, Proverbs 17:28, “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.”
