'Quietness' in the Bible
“Because he knew no quietness or calm within him [because of his greed],He does not retain anything he desires.
“When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?When He hides His face [withdrawing His favor and help], who then can behold Him [and make supplication to Him],Whether it be a nation or a man by himself?—
Better is a dry morsel [of food served] with quietness and peaceThan a house full of feasting [served] with strife and contention.
One hand full of rest and patience is better than two fists full of labor and chasing after the wind.
For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel has said this,“In returning [to Me] and rest you shall be saved,In quietness and confident trust is your strength.”But you were not willing,
And the effect of righteousness will be peace,And the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever.
