Psalm 38:14

Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth are no arguments.

Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.

Do not trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a friend.
From her who lies in your bosom
Guard your lips.

The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.

They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.

Do not trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a friend.
From her who lies in your bosom
Guard your lips.

The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.

They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

But they were silent and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”

And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.
