'Dumb' in the Bible

The Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

Let the lying lips be mute,Which speak arrogantly against the righteousWith pride and contempt.

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

I was mute and silent,I refrained even from good,And my sorrow grew worse.

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

Open your mouth for the mute,For the rights of all the unfortunate.

Then the lame will leap like a deer,And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.For waters will break forth in the wildernessAnd streams in the Arabah.

His watchmen are blind,All of them know nothing.All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;

Moreover, I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who rebukes them, for they are a rebellious house.

On that day your mouth will be opened to him who escaped, and you will speak and be mute no longer. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.’”

“Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ‘Awake!’To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’And that is your teacher?Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,And there is no breath at all inside it.
