Lamentations 3:28

Israel's Affliction

²⁷ It is good for a man that he should bear
The yoke in his youth.
²⁸ Let him sit alone and be silent
Since He has laid it on him.
²⁹ Let him put his mouth in the dust,
Perhaps there is hope.

Keep Silent

Jeremiah 15:17

I did not sit in the circle of merrymakers,
Nor did I exult.
Because of Your hand upon me I sat alone,
For You filled me with indignation.

Lamentations 2:10

The elders of the daughter of Zion
Sit on the ground, they are silent.
They have thrown dust on their heads;
They have girded themselves with sackcloth.
The virgins of Jerusalem
Have bowed their heads to the ground.

Psalm 39:9

“I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who have done it.

Psalm 102:7

I lie awake,
I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.
