The man watched her the whole time, silently waiting to learn
whether or not the LORD had made his errand successful. [GEN
24:21]
Caleb, however, to quiet the people toward Moses, said,
"We ought to go up and seize the land, for we can certainly
do so." But the men who had gone up with him said, "We
cannot attack these people; they are too strong for us." So
they spread discouraging reports among the Israelites about the
land they had scouted, saying, "The land that we explored is
a country that consumes its inhabitants. And all the people we saw
there are huge men, veritable giants (the Anakim were a race of
giants); we felt like mere grasshoppers, and so we must have
seemed to them."
[NUM 13:30-33]
Moses, with the levitical priests, then said to all Israel: "Be silent, O Israel, and listen! This day you have become the people of the LORD,
your God. You shall therefore hearken to the voice of the LORD, your God, and keep his commandments and statutes which I enjoin on you today."
[DEUT 27:9-10]
He returned, however, from where the idols are, near Gilgal, and said, "I have a private message for you, O king." And the king said, "Silence!" Then when all his attendants had left his presence, and Ehud went in to him where he sat alone in his cool upper room, Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you."
[Taken from JUDG 3:19-20]
So the five men went on and came to Laish. They saw that the
people dwelling there lived securely after the manner of the
Sidonians, quiet and trusting, with no lack of any natural
resources. They were distant from the Sidonians and had no contact
with other people. [JUDG 18:7]
The Danites then went on their way, and Micah, seeing that they were stronger than he, returned home. Having taken what Micah had made, and the priest he had had, they attacked Laish, a quiet and trusting people; they put them to the sword and destroyed their city by fire.
[JUDG 18:26-27]
As she remained long at prayer before the LORD, Eli watched her
mouth, for Hannah was praying silently; though her lips were
moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli, thinking her drunk,
said to her, "How long will you make a drunken show of
yourself? Sober up from your wine!" "It isn't that, my
lord," Hannah answered. "I am an unhappy woman. I have
had neither wine nor liquor; I was only pouring out my troubles to
the LORD. Do not think your handmaid a ne'er-do-well; my prayer
has been prompted by my deep sorrow and misery." Eli said,
"Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you
have asked of him."
[1SAM 1:12-17]
So the king stepped out and sat at the gate. When all the
people were informed that the king was sitting at the gate, they
came into his presence. Now the Israelites had fled to their
separate tents, but throughout the tribes of Israel all the people
were arguing among themselves, saying to one another: "The
king delivered us from the clutches of our enemies, and it was he
who rescued us from the grip of the Philistines. But now he has
fled from the country before Absalom, and Absalom, whom we
anointed over us, died in battle. Why, then, should you remain
silent about restoring the king to his palace?" When the talk
of all Israel reached the king, David sent word to the priests
Zadok and Abiathar: "Say to the elders of Judah: 'Why should
you be last to restore the king to his palace? You are my
brothers, you are my bone and flesh. Why should you be last to
restore the king?' Also say to Amasa: 'Are you not my bone and
flesh? May God do thus and so to me, if you do not become my
general permanently in place of Joab.'" He won over all the
Judahites as one man, and so they summoned the king to return,
with all his servants. [2SAM 19:9-15]
Then they said to one another: "We are not doing right.
This is a day of good news, and we are keeping silent. If we wait
until morning breaks, we shall be blamed. Come, let us go and
inform the palace." [2KGS 7:9]
All the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet, now
that Athaliah had been slain with the sword at the royal palace.
[2KGS 11:20]
But the people remained silent and did not answer him one word,
for the king had ordered them not to answer him. [2KGS 18:36]
They found abundant and good pastures, and the land was
spacious, quiet, and peaceful. [1CHRON 4:40]
Then the anger of the LORD blazed out against Amaziah, and he
sent a prophet to him who said: "Why have you had recourse to
this people's gods that could not save their own people from your
hand?" While he was still speaking, however, the king said to
him: "Have you been made the king's counselor? Be silent! Why
should it be necessary to kill you?" Therefore the prophet
desisted. "I know, however," he said, "that God has
let you take counsel to your own destruction, because you have
done this thing and have refused to hear my counsel." [2CHRON
25:15-16]
After some deliberation, I called the nobles and magistrates to account, saying to them, "You are exacting interest from your own kinsmen!" I then rebuked them severely,
saying to them: "As far as we were able, we bought back our fellow Jews who had been sold to Gentiles; you, however, are selling your own brothers, to have them bought back by us." They remained silent, for they could find no answer.
[NEH 5:7-8]
He said further: "Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet
drinks, and allot portions to those who had nothing prepared; for
today is holy to our LORD. Do not be saddened this day, for
rejoicing in the LORD must be your strength!" (And the
Levites quieted all the people, saying, "Hush, for today is
holy, and you must not be saddened.") Then all the people
went to eat and drink, to distribute portions, and to celebrate
with great joy, for they understood the words that had been
expounded to them.
[NEH 8:10-12]
When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, he had this
reply brought to her: "Do not imagine that because you are in
the king's palace, you alone of all the Jews will escape. Even if
you now remain silent, relief and deliverance will come to the
Jews from another source; but you and your father's house will
perish. Who knows but that it was for a time like this that you
obtained the royal dignity?" Esther sent back to Mordecai the
response: "Go and assemble all the Jews who are in Susa; fast
on my behalf, all of you, not eating or drinking, night or
day, for three days. I and my maids will also fast in the
same way. Thus prepared, I will go to the king, contrary to the
law. If I perish, I perish!" Mordecai went away and
did exactly as Esther had commanded. [ESTH 4:12-16]
"And now, Lord God, King, God of Abraham, spare your people, for our enemies plan our ruin and are bent upon destroying the inheritance that was yours from the beginning. Do not spurn your portion, which you redeemed for yourself out of Egypt. Hear my prayer; have pity on your inheritance and turn our sorrow into joy: thus we shall live to sing praise to your name, O Lord. Do not silence those who praise you."
[ESTH C:8-10]
So the king and Haman went to the banquet with Queen Esther.
Again, on this second day, during the drinking of the wine, the
king said to Esther, "Whatever you ask, Queen Esther, shall
be granted you. Whatever request you make shall be honored, even
for half the kingdom." Queen Esther replied: "If I have
found favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your majesty, I
ask that my life be spared, and I beg that you spare the lives of
my people. For my people and I have been delivered to destruction,
slaughter, and extinction. If we were to be sold into slavery I
would remain silent, but as it is, the enemy will be unable to
compensate for the harm done to the king."
[ESTH 7:1-4]
After Alexander the Macedonian, Philip's son, who came from the
land of Kittim, had defeated Darius, king of the Persians and
Medes, he became king in his place, having first ruled in Greece.
He fought many campaigns, captured fortresses, and put kings to
death. He advanced to the ends of the earth, gathering plunder
from many nations; the earth fell silent before him, and his heart
became proud and arrogant.
[1MACC 1:1-3]
Jerusalem was uninhabited, like a desert; not one of her
children entered or came out. The sanctuary was trampled on, and
foreigners were in the citadel; it was a habitation of Gentiles.
Joy had disappeared from Jacob, and the flute and the harp were
silent. [1MACC 3:45]
The people rejoiced greatly, and observed that day as a great festival. They decreed that it should be observed every year on the thirteenth of Adar. And for a short time the land of Judah was quiet.
[1MACC 7:48-50]
Seeing that Alcimus was dead, Bacchides returned to the king,
and the land of Judah was quiet for two years. [Taken from 1MACC 9:57]
A certain Alcimus, a former high priest, who had willfully
incurred defilement at the time of the revolt, realized that there
was no way for him to salvage his position and regain access to
the holy altar. So he went to King Demetrius in the year one
hundred and fifty-one and presented him with a gold crown and a
palm branch, as well as some of the customary olive branches from
the temple. On that occasion he kept quiet. But he found an
opportunity to further his mad scheme when he was invited to the
council by Demetrius and questioned about the dispositions and
intentions of the Jews. He replied: "Those Jews called
Hasideans, led by Judas Maccabeus, are warmongers, who stir up
sedition and keep the kingdom from enjoying peace and quiet. For
this reason, now that I am deprived of my ancestral dignity, that
is to say, the high priesthood, I have come here - first, out of
my genuine concern for the king's interests, and secondly, out of
consideration for my own countrymen, since our entire nation is
suffering great affliction from the unreasonable conduct of the
people just mentioned. When you have informed yourself in detail
on these matters, O king, act in the interest of our country and
its hard-pressed people with the same gracious consideration that
you show toward all. As long as Judas is around, it is impossible
for the state to enjoy peace." When he had said this, the
other Friends who were hostile to Judas quickly added fuel to
Demetrius' indignation. [2MACC 14:3-11]
Teach me, and I will be silent; prove to me wherein I have
erred. [JOB 6:24]
He silences the trusted adviser, and takes discretion from the
aged. [JOB 12:20]
Oh, that you would be altogether silent! This for you would be
wisdom. [JOB 13:5]
Be silent, let me alone! that I may speak and give vent to my
feelings. [JOB 13:13]
Behold, I have prepared my case, I know that I am in the right. If anyone can make a case against me, then I shall be silent and die. [JOB
13:18-19]
Then Job answered and said: I have heard this sort of thing
many times. Wearisome comforters are you all! Is there no end
to windy words? Or what sickness have you that you speak on?
I also could talk as you do, were you in my place. I could
declaim over you, or wag my head at you; I could strengthen
you with talk, or shake my head with silent lips. If I speak,
this pain I have will not be checked; if I leave off, it will not
depart from me. But now that I am exhausted and stunned, all
my company has closed in on me. [JOB 16:1-7]
When I went forth to the gate of the city and set up my
seat in the square - Then the young men saw me and
withdrew, while the elders rose up and stood; The chief men
refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their
hands; The voice of the princes was silenced, and their
tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths. For me they listened
and waited; they were silent for my counsel. Once I spoke,
they said no more, but received my pronouncement drop by
drop. They waited for me as for the rain; they drank in my
words like the spring rains. [JOB 29:7-10,21-23]
Because no stranger lodged in the street, but I opened my
door to wayfarers - Had I, out of human weakness, hidden my
sins and buried my guilt in my bosom Because I feared the
noisy multitude and the scorn of the tribes terrified
me- then I should have remained silent, and not come out
of doors! Oh, that I had one to hear my case, and that my
accuser would write out his indictment! Surely, I should wear it
on my shoulder or put it on me like a diadem; Of all my steps
I should give him an account; like a prince I should present
myself before him. This is my final plea; let the Almighty
answer me! The words of Job are ended. [JOB 31:32-37]
He does great things beyond our knowing; wonders past our
searching out. For he says to the snow, "Fall to the
earth"; likewise to his heavy, drenching rain. He shuts
up all mankind indoors; the wild beasts take to cover and
remain quietly in their dens. [JOB 37:5-8]
Tremble and do not sin; upon your beds ponder in silence. [PS
4:5]
Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have drawn a defense
against your foes, to silence enemy and avenger. [PS 8:3]
Do not let me be put to shame, for I have called to you, LORD.
Put the wicked to shame; reduce them to silence in Sheol. [PS
31:18]
Happy the sinner whose fault is removed, whose sin is
forgiven. Happy those to whom the LORD imputes no guilt, in
whose spirit is no deceit. As long as I kept silent, my bones
wasted away; I groaned all the day. For day and night your
hand was heavy upon me; my strength withered as in dry summer
heat. Then I declared my sin to you; my guilt I did not
hide. I said, "I confess my faults to the
LORD," and you took away the guilt of my sin. Thus
should all your faithful pray in time of
distress. Though flood waters threaten, they will never
reach them. [Taken PS 32:1-6]
Do not let lying foes smirk at me, my undeserved enemies
wink knowingly. They speak no words of peace, but against the
quiet in the land they fashion deceitful speech. They open
wide their mouths against me. They say, "Aha!
Good! Our eyes relish the sight!" You see this, LORD; do
not be silent; Lord, do not withdraw from me. Awake, be
vigilant in my defense, in my cause, my God and my Lord.
Defend me because you are just, LORD; my God, do not let them
gloat over me. [PS 35:19-24]
I said, "I will watch my ways, lest I sin with my
tongue; I will set a curb on my mouth." Dumb and silent
before the wicked, I refrained from any speech. But my
sorrow increased; my heart smoldered within me. In my
thoughts a fire blazed up, and I broke into speech [Taken from PS
39:2-4]
I was silent and did not open my mouth because you were the
one who did this. [PS 39:10]
From Zion God shines forth. perfect in beauty. Our God comes and will not be silent! Devouring fire precedes, storming fiercely round about.
[PS 50:2-3]
But to the wicked God says: "Why do you recite
my commandments and profess my covenant with your lips? You hate
discipline; you cast my words behind you! When you see
thieves, you befriend them; with adulterers you throw in your
lot. You give your mouth free rein for evil; you harness your
tongue to deceit. You sit maligning your own kin, slandering
the child of your own mother. When you do these things should I be
silent? Or do you think that I am like you? I accuse
you, I lay the charge before you." [PS 50:16-21]
At your roar, O God of Jacob, chariots and steeds lay
still. So terrible and awesome are you; who can stand before
you and your great anger? From the heavens you pronounced
sentence; the earth was terrified and reduced to silence,
When you arose, O God, for judgment to deliver the afflicted
of the land. [Taken from PS 76:7-10]
God, do not be silent; God, be not still and unmoved! See how your enemies rage; your foes proudly raise their heads. They conspire against your people, plot against those you protect. [PS
83:2-4]
But I cry out to you, LORD; in the morning my prayer
comes before you. Why do you reject me, LORD? Why hide your
face from me? I am mortally afflicted since youth; lifeless,
I suffer your terrible blows. Your wrath has swept over
me; your terrors have reduced me to silence. All the day they
surge round like a flood; from every side they close in on
me. Because of you companions shun me; my only friend is
darkness. [PS 88:14-19]
If the LORD were not my help, I would long have been silent in
the grave. [PS 94:17]
I do not allow into my presence anyone who speaks
perversely. Whoever acts shamefully I hate; no such person
can be my friend. I shun the devious of heart; the wicked I
do not tolerate. Whoever slanders another in secret I reduce
to silence. Haughty eyes and arrogant hearts I cannot
endure. [PS 101:3-5]
O God, whom I praise, do not be silent, for wicked and
treacherous mouths attack me. They speak against me with
lying tongues; with hateful words they surround me, attacking
me without cause. In return for my love they slander me, even
though I prayed for them. They repay me evil for good, hatred
for my love. [Taken from PS 109:2-5]
He who reviles his neighbor has no sense, but the intelligent
man keeps silent. [PROV 11:12]
He who spares his words is truly wise, and he who is chary of speech is a man of intelligence.
Even a fool, if he keeps silent, is considered wise; if he closes his lips, intelligent.
[PROV 17:27-28]
For a fool, to be silent is wisdom; not to open his mouth at
the gate. [PROV 24:7]
There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for
every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to
die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time
to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to
build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn,
and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to
gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from
embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep,
and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a
time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time
to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. [ECCL 3:1-8]
"The quiet words of the wise are better heeded than the
shout of a ruler of fools" [Taken from ECCL 9:17]
And if riches be a desirable possession in life, what is
more rich than Wisdom, who produces all things? And if prudence
renders service, who in the world is a better craftsman than she?
Or if one loves justice, the fruits of her works are
virtues; For she teaches moderation and
prudence, justice and fortitude, and nothing in life is
more useful for men than these. Or again, if one yearns for
copious learning, she knows the things of old, and infers
those yet to come. She understands the turns of phrases and the
solutions of riddles; signs and wonders she knows in
advance and the outcome of times and ages. So I determined to
take her to live with me, knowing that she would be my
counselor while all was well, and my comfort in care and
grief. For her sake I should have glory among the masses, and
esteem from the elders, though I be but a youth. I should become
keen in judgment, and should be a marvel before rulers. They
would abide my silence and attend my utterance; and as I
spoke on further, they would place their hands upon their
mouths. For her sake I should have immortality and leave to
those after me an everlasting memory. [WISDOM 8:5-13]
Many are the supporters for a rich man when he
speaks; though what he says is odious, it wins
approval. When a poor man speaks they make sport of
him; he speaks wisely and no attention is paid him. A rich
man speaks and all are silent, his wisdom they extol to the
clouds. A poor man speaks and they say: "Who is
that?" If he slips they cast him down. Wealth is good
when there is no sin; but poverty is evil by the standards of
the proud. [SIRACH 13:21-23]
One man is silent and is thought wise, another is
talkative and is disliked. One man is silent because he has
nothing to say; another is silent, biding his time. A wise
man is silent till the right time comes, but a boasting fool
ignores the proper time. He who talks too much is
detested; he who pretends to authority is hated. [SIRACH 20:4-7]
Favors and gifts blind the eyes; like a muzzle over the mouth
they silence reproof. [SIRACH 20:28]
Like a sandy hill to aged feet is a railing wife to a quiet
man. [SIRACH 25:19]
For thus says the LORD to me: I will quietly look on from where
I dwell, Like the glowing heat of sunshine, like a cloud of dew at
harvest time. [ISA 18:4]
Oracle on Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your
port is destroyed; From the land of the Kittim the news
reaches them. Silence! you who dwell on the coast, you
merchants of Sidon, Whose messengers crossed the sea over the deep
waters. The grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her
revenue, and she the merchant among nations.
[ISA 23:1-3]
For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: By waiting
and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your
strength lies. But this you did not wish. [ISA 30:15]
My people will live in peaceful country, in secure dwellings
and quiet resting places. [ISA 32:18]
Look to Zion, the city of our festivals; let your eyes see
Jerusalem as a quiet abode, a tent not to be struck, Whose pegs
will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes severed. [ISA 33:20]
Keep silence before me, O coastlands; you peoples, wait for my
words! Let them draw near and speak; let us come together for
judgment. [ISA 41:1]
The LORD goes forth like a hero, like a warrior he stirs
up his ardor; He shouts out his battle cry, against his
enemies he shows his might: I have looked away, and kept
silence, I have said nothing, holding myself in; But
now, I cry out as a woman in labor, gasping and panting. I
will lay waste mountains and hills, all their herbage I will
dry up; I will turn the rivers into marshes, and the
marshes I will dry up. I will lead the blind on their
journey; by paths unknown I will guide them. I will turn
darkness into light before them, and make crooked ways
straight. These things I do for them, and I will not
forsake them. They shall be turned back in utter shame who
trust in idols; Who say to molten images, "You are
our gods." [ISA 42:13-17]
Go into darkness and sit in silence, O daughter of the
Chaldeans, No longer shall you be called sovereign mistress of
kingdoms. [ISA 47:5]
Who would believe what we have heard? To whom has the arm
of the LORD been revealed? He grew up like a sapling before
him, like a shoot from the parched earth; There was in
him no stately bearing to make us look at him, nor appearance
that would attract us to him. He was spurned and avoided by
men, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity, One of
those from whom men hide their faces, spurned, and we held
him in no esteem. Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our
sufferings that he endured, While we thought of him as
stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced
for our offenses, crushed for our sins, Upon him was the
chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were
healed. We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his
own way; But the LORD laid upon him the guilt of us all.
Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not
his mouth; Like a lamb... or a sheep before the
shearers, he was silent and opened not his mouth. Oppressed
and condemned, he was taken away, and who would have thought
any more of his destiny? When he was cut off from the land of
the living, and smitten for the sin of his people... Though
he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood. (But the LORD
was pleased to crush him in infirmity.) If he gives his
life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in
a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished
through him. Because of his affliction he shall see the light
in fullness of days; Through his suffering, my servant shall
justify many, and their guilt he shall bear. Therefore I will
give him his portion among the great, and he shall divide the
spoils with the mighty, Because he surrendered himself to
death and was counted among the wicked; And he shall
take away the sins of many, and win pardon for their
offenses. [Taken from ISA 57:1-12]
For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake
I will not be quiet, Until her vindication shines forth like
the dawn and her victory like a burning torch. Nations shall
behold your vindication, and all kings your glory; You shall
be called by a new name pronounced by the mouth of the LORD. You
shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal
diadem held by your God. No more shall men call you
"Forsaken," or your land
"Desolate," But you shall be called "My
Delight," and your land "Espoused." For
the LORD delights in you, and makes your land his spouse. As
a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry
you; And as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall
your God rejoice in you. [ISA 62:1-5]
Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have stationed
watchmen; Never, by day or by night, shall they be
silent. O you who are to remind the LORD, take no rest
And give no rest to him, until he re-establishes
Jerusalem And makes of it the pride of the earth. [ISA
62:6-7]
Yet, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay and you
the potter: we are all the work of your hands. Be not so very
angry, LORD, keep not our guilt forever in mind; look
upon us, who are all your people. Your holy cities have become a
desert, Zion is a desert, Jerusalem a waste. Our holy and
glorious temple in which our fathers praised you Has
been burned with fire; all that was dear to us is laid waste.
Can you hold back, O LORD, after all this? Can you remain
silent, and afflict us so severely? [ISA 64:7-11]
Lo, before me it stands written; I will not be quiet until
I have paid in full Your crimes and the crimes of your fathers as
well, says the LORD. Since they burned incense on the
mountains, and disgraced me on the hills, I will at once
pour out in full measure their recompense into their laps.
[ISA 65:6-7]
In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem I will
silence the cry of joy, the cry of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will be turned
to rubble. [JER 7:34]
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Before your
very eyes and during your lifetime I will silence from this place
the cry of joy and the cry of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom and the voice of the bride. [JER 16:9]
If you remain quietly in this land I will build you up, and not
tear you down; I will plant you, not uproot you; for I regret the
evil I have done you. [JER 42:10]
Gaza is shaved bald, Ashkelon is reduced to silence; Ashdod,
the remnant of their strength, how long will you gash yourself? [JER
47:5]
Moab's glory is no more. Evil they plan against Heshbon:
"Come, let us put an end to her as a people." You, too,
Madmen, shall be reduced to silence; behind you stalks the sword.
[JER 48:2]
"At this I weep, my eyes run with tears: Far from me are
all who could console me, any who might revive me; My sons were
reduced to silence when the enemy prevailed." [LAM 1:16]
On the ground in silence sit the old men of daughter Zion; They
strew dust on their heads and gird themselves with sackcloth; The
maidens of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground. [LAM 2:10]
My portion is the LORD, says my soul; therefore will I
hope in him. Good is the LORD to one who waits for him, to
the soul that seeks him; It is good to hope in silence for
the saving help of the LORD.
[LAM 3:24-26]
It is good for a man to bear the yoke from his youth. Let him sit alone
and in silence, when it is laid upon him. [LAM 3:27-28]
When I have wreaked my fury upon you I will cease to be jealous
of you, I will be quiet and no longer vexed. [EZEK 16:42]
For thus speaks the Lord GOD: I will deal with you according to
what you have done, you who despised your oath, breaking a
covenant. Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when
you were a girl, and I will set up an everlasting covenant with
you. Then you shall remember your conduct and be ashamed when I
take your sisters, those older and younger than you, and give them
to you as daughters, even though I am not bound by my covenant
with you. For I will re-establish my covenant with you, that you
may know that I am the LORD, that you may remember and be covered
with confusion, and that you may be utterly silenced for shame
when I pardon you for all you have done, says the Lord GOD. [EZEK
16:59-63]
Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, by a sudden blow I am taking away from you the delight of your eyes, but do not mourn or weep or shed any tears.
Groan in silence, make no lament for the dead, bind on your turban, put your sandals on your feet, do not cover your beard, and do not eat the customary bread.
[EZEK 24:15-17]
While he was speaking thus to me, I fell forward and kept
silent. Then something like a man's hand touched my lips; I opened
my mouth and said to the one facing me, "My lord, I was
seized with pangs at the vision and I was powerless. How can my
lord's servant speak with you, my lord? For now no strength or
even breath is left in me." The one who looked like a man
touched me again and strengthened me, saying, "Fear not,
beloved, you are safe; take courage and be strong." When he
spoke to me, I grew strong and said, "Speak, my lord, for you
have strengthened me." [Taken from DAN 10:15-20]
Yes, I know how many are your crimes, how grievous your
sins: Oppressing the just, accepting bribes, repelling the
needy at the gate! Therefore the prudent man is silent at this
time, for it is an evil time. Seek good and not
evil, that you may live; Then truly will the LORD, the
God of hosts, be with you as you claim! [AMOS 5:12-14]
The Lord GOD has sworn by his very self, say I, the LORD,
the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, I hate his
castles, and I give over the city with everything in it;
Should there remain ten men in a single house, these shall
die. Only a few shall be left to carry the dead out of the
houses; If one says to a man inside a house, "Is
anyone with you?" and he answers, "No
one," Then he shall say, "Silence!" for
no one must mention the name of the LORD. Indeed, the LORD has
given the command to shatter the great house to
bits, and reduce the small house to rubble. [AMOS 6:8-11]
This is what the Lord GOD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.
"What do you see, Amos?" he asked. I answered,
"A basket of ripe fruit." Then the LORD said to
me: The time is ripe to have done with my people
Israel; I will forgive them no longer. The temple songs shall
become wailings on that day, says the Lord GOD. Many
shall be the corpses, strewn everywhere. - Silence! [AMOS 8:1-3]
"Tell us," they said, "what is your business?
Where do you come from? What is your country, and to what people
do you belong?" "I am a Hebrew," Jonah answered
them; "I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the
sea and the dry land." Now the men were seized with great
fear and said to him, "How could you do such a thing!" -
They knew that he was fleeing from the LORD, because he had told
them. - "What shall we do with you," they asked,
"that the sea may quiet down for us?" For the sea was
growing more and more turbulent. Jonah said to them, "Pick me
up and throw me into the sea, that it may quiet down for you;
since I know it is because of me that this violent storm has come
upon you." Still the men rowed hard to regain the land, but
they could not, for the sea grew ever more turbulent. Then they
cried to the LORD: "We beseech you, O LORD, let us not perish
for taking this man's life; do not charge us with shedding
innocent blood, for you, LORD, have done as you saw fit."
Then they took Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea's
raging abated. [JONAH 1:8-15]
Are you not from eternity, O LORD, my holy God,
immortal? O LORD you have marked him for judgment, O
Rock, you have readied him for punishment! Too pure are your eyes
to look upon evil, and the sight of misery you cannot
endure. Why, then, do you gaze on the faithless in
silence while the wicked man devours one more just than
himself? [HAB 1:12-13]
But the LORD is in his holy temple; silence before him, all the
earth! [HAB 2:20]
I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all
the inhabitants of Jerusalem; I will destroy from this place
the last vestige of Baal, the very names of his priests. And
those who adore the host of heaven on the roofs, with those
who adore the LORD but swear by Milcom; And those who have fallen
away from the LORD, and those who do not seek the LORD.
Silence in the presence of the Lord GOD! for near is the day
of the LORD, Yes, the LORD has prepared a slaughter
feast, he has consecrated his guests. On the day of the
LORD'S slaughter feast I will punish the princes, and the
king's sons, and all that dress in foreign apparel. I will
punish, on that day, all who leap over the
threshold, Who fill the house of their master with
violence and deceit. [ZEPH 1:4-9]
Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell
among you, says the LORD. Many nations shall join themselves to
the LORD on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will
dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has
sent me to you. The LORD will possess Judah as his portion of the
holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem. Silence, all
mankind, in the presence of the LORD! for he stirs forth from his
holy dwelling. [ZECH 2:14-17]
Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his
mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived
together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph
her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose
her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his
intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to
take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy
Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a
son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people
from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the
Lord had said through the prophet: "Behold, the virgin shall
be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him
Emmanuel," which means "God is with us." When
Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took his wife into his home. [MT 1:18-24]
As they left Jericho, a great crowd followed him. Two blind men
were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was
passing by, they cried out, "(Lord,) Son of David, have pity
on us!" The crowd warned them to be silent, but they called
out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!"
Jesus stopped and called them and said, "What do you want me
to do for you?" They answered him, "Lord, let our eyes
be opened." Moved with pity, Jesus touched their eyes.
Immediately they received their sight, and followed him. [MT 20:29-34]
"Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but
those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore,
into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.'
The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they
found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.
But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there
not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, 'My friend, how
is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was
reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind
his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where
there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' Many are invited,
but few are chosen." [Taken from MT 22:8-14]
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together, and one of them (a scholar of the law)
tested him by asking, "Teacher, which commandment in the law
is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the
Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The
second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The
whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
[MT 22:34-40]
The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to
obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death,
but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward.
Finally two came forward who stated, "This man said, 'I can
destroy the temple of God and within three days rebuild it.'"
The high priest rose and addressed him, "Have you no answer?
What are these men testifying against you?" But Jesus was
silent. Then the high priest said to him, "I order you to
tell us under oath before the living God whether you are the
Messiah, the Son of God." Jesus said to him in reply,
"You have said so. But I tell you: From now on you
will see 'the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the
Power' and 'coming on the clouds of heaven.'" Then the
high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What
further need have we of witnesses? You have now heard the
blasphemy; what is your opinion?" They said in reply,
"He deserves to die!" Then they spat in his face and
struck him, while some slapped him, saying, "Prophesy for us,
Messiah: who is it that struck you?" [MT 26:59-68]
In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried
out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have
you come to destroy us? I know who you are - the Holy One of
God!" Jesus rebuked him and said, "Quiet! Come out of
him!" The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry
came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, "What
is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the
unclean spirits and they obey him." His fame spread
everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
[MK 1:23-28]
Again he entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a
withered hand. They watched him closely to see if he would cure
him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. He said to the
man with the withered hand, "Come up here before us."
Then he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy
it?" But they remained silent. Looking around at them with
anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, he said to the man,
"Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out and his
hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately took
counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death.
[MK 3:1-6]
A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat,
so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep
on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you
not care that we are perishing?" He woke up, rebuked the
wind, and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!" The wind
ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, "Why are
you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?" They were filled
with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this
whom even wind and sea obey?"
[MK 4:37-41]
They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to
ask them, "What were you arguing about on the way?" But
they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on
the way who was the greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve,
and said to them, "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be
the last of all and the servant of all." Taking a child he
placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it he said
to them, "Whoever receives one child such as this in my name,
receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the one
who sent me." [MK 9:33-37]
They came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his
disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of
Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus
of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, son of
David, have pity on me." And many rebuked him, telling him to
be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, "Son of
David, have pity on me." Jesus stopped and said, "Call
him." So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take
courage; get up, he is calling you." He threw aside his
cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. Jesus said to him in reply,
"What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man
replied to him, "Master, I want to see." Jesus told him,
"Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately he
received his sight and followed him on the way. [MK 10:46-52]
The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to
obtain testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but
they found none. Many gave false witness against him, but their
testimony did not agree. Some took the stand and testified falsely
against him, alleging, "We heard him say, 'I will destroy
this temple made with hands and within three days I will build
another not made with hands.'" Even so their testimony did
not agree. The high priest rose before the assembly and questioned
Jesus, saying, "Have you no answer? What are these men
testifying against you?" But he was silent and answered
nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him,
"Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?" Then
Jesus answered, "I am; and 'you will see the Son of Man
seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the
clouds of heaven.'" At that the high priest tore his garments
and said, "What further need have we of witnesses? You have
heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned
him as deserving to die. Some began to spit on him. They
blindfolded him and struck him and said to him,
"Prophesy!" And the guards greeted him with blows. [MK
14:55-65]
Jesus then went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught
them on the sabbath, and they were astonished at his teaching
because he spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man
with the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud
voice, "Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are - the Holy One of
God!" Jesus rebuked him and said, "Be quiet! Come out of
him!" Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and
came out of him without doing him any harm. They were all amazed
and said to one another, "What is there about his word? For
with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they
come out." And news of him spread everywhere in the
surrounding region.
[LK 4:31-37]
About eight days after he said this, he took Peter, John, and
James and went up the mountain to pray. While he was praying his
face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.
And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,
who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to
accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been
overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory
and the two men standing with him. As they were about to part from
him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are
here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one
for Elijah." But he did not know what he was saying. While he
was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and
they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the
cloud came a voice that said, "This is my chosen Son; listen
to him." After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone.
They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they
had seen. [LK 9:28-36]
On a sabbath he went to dine at the home of one of the leading
Pharisees, and the people there were observing him carefully. In
front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy. Jesus spoke to
the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking, "Is
it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?" But they kept
silent; so he took the man and, after he had healed him, dismissed
him. Then he said to them, "Who among you, if your son or ox
falls into a cistern, would not immediately pull him out on the
sabbath day?" But they were unable to answer his question. [LK
14:1-6]
Now as he approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the
roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what
was happening. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing
by." He shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on
me!" The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to
be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, "Son of
David, have pity on me!" Then Jesus stopped and ordered that
he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him,
"What do you want me to do for you?" He replied,
"Lord, please let me see." Jesus told him, "Have
sight; your faith has saved you." He immediately received his
sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this,
all the people gave praise to God. [LK 18:35-43]
And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them,
"Why are you untying this colt?" They answered,
"The Master has need of it." So they brought it to
Jesus, threw their cloaks over the colt, and helped Jesus to
mount. As he rode along, the people were spreading their cloaks on
the road; and now as he was approaching the slope of the Mount of
Olives, the whole multitude of his disciples began to praise God
aloud with joy for all the mighty deeds they had seen. They
proclaimed: "Blessed is the king who comes in the name
of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest." Some
of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke
your disciples." He said in reply, "I tell you, if they
keep silent, the stones will cry out!" [LK 19:33-40]
They watched him closely and sent agents pretending to be
righteous who were to trap him in speech, in order to hand him
over to the authority and power of the governor. They posed this
question to him, "Teacher, we know that what you say and
teach is correct, and you show no partiality, but teach the way of
God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful for us to pay
tribute to Caesar or not?" Recognizing their craftiness he
said to them, "Show me a denarius; whose image and name does
it bear?" They replied, "Caesar's." So he said to
them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God
what belongs to God." They were unable to trap him by
something he might say before the people, and so amazed were they
at his reply that they fell silent. [LK 20:20-26]
Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, "Get up and
head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the
desert route." So he got up and set out. Now there was an
Ethiopian eunuch... who had come to Jerusalem to worship, and was
returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet
Isaiah. The Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that
chariot." Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the
prophet and said, "Do you understand what you are
reading?" He replied, "How can I, unless someone
instructs me?" So he invited Philip to get in and sit with
him. This was the scripture passage he was reading: "Like a
sheep he was led... as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he
opened not his mouth..." Then the eunuch said to Philip in
reply, "I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this?
About himself, or about someone else?" Then Philip opened his
mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed
Jesus to him. [Taken from ACTS 8:26-32,34-35]
Then Peter recovered his senses and said, "Now I know for
certain that (the) Lord sent his angel and rescued me from the
hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people had been
expecting." When he realized this, he went to the house of
Mary, the mother of John who is called Mark, where there were many
people gathered in prayer. When he knocked on the gateway door, a
maid named Rhoda came to answer it. She was so overjoyed when she
recognized Peter's voice that, instead of opening the gate, she
ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate. They
told her, "You are out of your mind," but she insisted
that it was so. But they kept saying, "It is his angel."
But Peter continued to knock, and when they opened it, they saw
him and were astounded. He motioned to them with his hand to be
quiet and explained (to them) how the Lord had led him out of the
prison, and said, "Report this to James and the
brothers." Then he left and went to another place. [ACTS 12:11-17]
Some who had come down from Judea were instructing the
brothers, "Unless you are circumcised according to the Mosaic
practice, you cannot be saved." Because there arose no little
dissension and debate by Paul and Barnabas with them, it was
decided that Paul, Barnabas, and some of the others should go up
to Jerusalem to the apostles and presbyters about this question.
They were sent on their journey by the church, and passed through
Phoenicia and Samaria telling of the conversion of the Gentiles,
and brought great joy to all the brothers. When they arrived in
Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, as well as by the
apostles and the presbyters, and they reported what God had done
with them. But some from the party of the Pharisees who had become
believers stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise
them and direct them to observe the Mosaic law." The apostles
and the presbyters met together to see about this matter. After
much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them,
"My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God
made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would
hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the
heart, bore witness by granting them the Holy Spirit just as he
did us. He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith
he purified their hearts. Why, then, are you now putting God to
the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that
neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? On the
contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the
Lord Jesus, in the same way as they." The whole assembly fell
silent, and they listened while Paul and Barnabas described the
signs and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles through them.
[ACTS 15:1-12]
One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, "Do not be
afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you.
No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this
city." He settled there for a year and a half and taught the
word of God among them.
[ACTS 18:9-11]
Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said
to the cohort commander, "May I say something to you?"
He replied, "Do you speak Greek? So then you are not the
Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four
thousand assassins into the desert?" Paul answered, "I
am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I
request you to permit me to speak to the people." When he had
given his permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with
his hand to the people; and when all was quiet he addressed them
in Hebrew. "My brothers and fathers, listen to what I am
about to say to you in my defense." When they heard him
addressing them in Hebrew they became all the more quiet. And he
continued, "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but
brought up in this city. At the feet of Gamaliel I was educated
strictly in our ancestral law and was zealous for God, just as all
of you are today. I persecuted this Way to death, binding both men
and women and delivering them to prison. Even the high priest and
the whole council of elders can testify on my behalf. For from
them I even received letters to the brothers and set out for
Damascus to bring back to Jerusalem in chains for punishment those
there as well. On that journey as I drew near to Damascus, about
noon a great light from the sky suddenly shone around me. I fell
to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are
you persecuting me?' I replied, 'Who are you, sir?' And he said to
me, 'I am Jesus the Nazorean whom you are persecuting.' My
companions saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who
spoke to me. I asked, 'What shall I do, sir?' The Lord answered
me, 'Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about
everything appointed for you to do.'" [Taken from ACTS 21:37-40,22:1-10]
Now we know that what the law says is addressed to those under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world stand accountable to God,
since no human being will be justified in his sight by observing the law; for through the law comes consciousness of sin.
[ROM 3:19-20]
So what is to be done, brothers? When you assemble, one has a
psalm, another an instruction, a revelation, a tongue, or an
interpretation. Everything should be done for building up. If
anyone speaks in a tongue, let it be two or at most three, and
each in turn, and one should interpret. But if there is no
interpreter, the person should keep silent in the church and speak
to himself and to God. Two or three prophets should speak, and the
others discern. But if a revelation is given to another person
sitting there, the first one should be silent. For you can all
prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged.
Indeed, the spirits of prophets are under the prophets' control,
since he is not the God of disorder but of peace. As in all the
churches of the holy ones, women should keep silent in the
churches, for they are not allowed to speak, but should be
subordinate, as even the law says. But if they want to learn
anything, they should ask their husbands at home. For it is
improper for a woman to speak in the church. Did the word of God
go forth from you? Or has it come to you alone? If anyone thinks
that he is a prophet or a spiritual person, he should recognize
that what I am writing to you is a commandment of the Lord. If
anyone does not acknowledge this, he is not acknowledged. So, (my)
brothers, strive eagerly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking
in tongues, but everything must be done properly and in order. [1COR
14:26-40]
By the truth of Christ in me, this boast of mine shall not be
silenced in the regions of Achaia. [2COR 11:10]
In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if [any
man] was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat. We hear
that some are conducting themselves among you in a disorderly way,
by not keeping busy but minding the business of others. Such
people we instruct and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work
quietly and to eat their own food.
[2THES 3:10-12]
First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers,
petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone, for kings
and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil
life in all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God
our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to
knowledge of the truth. For there is one God. There is also
one mediator between God and the human race, Christ
Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as ransom for
all. This was the testimony at the proper time. For this I
was appointed preacher and apostle (I am speaking the truth, I am
not lying), teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. It is my
wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up
holy hands, without anger or argument. Similarly, (too,) women
should adorn themselves with proper conduct, with modesty and
self-control, not with braided hairstyles and gold ornaments, or
pearls, or expensive clothes, but rather, as befits women who
profess reverence for God, with good deeds. A woman must receive
instruction silently and under complete control. I do not permit a
woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve. Further, Adam was not
deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed. But she
will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in
faith and love and holiness, with self-control. [1TM 2:1-15]
For a bishop as God's steward must be blameless, not arrogant,
not irritable, not a drunkard, not aggressive, not greedy for
sordid gain, but hospitable, a lover of goodness, temperate, just,
holy, and self-controlled, holding fast to the true message as
taught so that he will be able both to exhort with sound doctrine
and to refute opponents. For there are also many rebels, idle
talkers and deceivers... It is imperative to silence them, as they
are upsetting whole families by teaching for sordid gain what they
should not. [Taken from TI 1:7-11]
For it is the will of God that by doing good you may silence
the ignorance of foolish people. [1PT 2:15]
When he broke open the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven for about half an hour. And I saw that the seven angels who
stood before God were given seven trumpets. Another angel came and
stood at the altar, holding a gold censer. He was given a great
quantity of incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the
holy ones, on the gold altar that was before the throne. The smoke
of the incense along with the prayers of the holy ones went up
before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the
censer, filled it with burning coals from the altar, and hurled it
down to the earth. There were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes
of lightning, and an earthquake. [RV 8:1-5]
