'Hushed' in the Bible

The noblemen’s voices were hushed,and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.

He stilled the storm to a murmur,and the waves of the sea were hushed.

Now we know that whatever the Law [of Moses] says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that [the excuses of] every mouth may be silenced [from protesting] and that all the world may be held accountable to God [and subject to His judgment].
