'Restrains' in the Bible
“Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up;And He sends them out, and they inundate the earth.
“They break up my path,They profit from my destruction;No one restrains them.
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,But he who restrains his lips is wise.
He who restrains his words has knowledge,And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
He who would restrain her restrains the wind,And grasps oil with his right hand.
“Cursed be the one who does the Lord’s work negligently,And cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood.
And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
