Officious
Officious means objectionably aggressive in offering one's unrequested and unwanted services, help, or advice; meddlesome.
After suffering many calamities, Job faced his officious friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, and (eventually) Elihu.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
"If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient?
But who can refrain from speaking? (Job 4:1-2, NASB)
Note: This painting of Job and his friends was painted by Gioacchino Assereto (1600-1649). It hangs in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Chambéry.
