'Hold My Tongue' in the Bible
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold to be bondmen and bondwomen, then would I hold my tongue; although the enemy could not recompense the king's loss.
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
"But what shall I do? For all my words, my sorrow will not cease: and though I hold my tongue, yet will it not depart from me.
This thou doest, while I hold my tongue: and thinkest wickedly that I am even such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.
For Zion's sake therefore will I not hold my tongue, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not cease: until their righteousness break forth as a shining light, and their salvation as a burning lamp.
