'Silence' in the Bible
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
{A Song or Psalm of Asaph.} Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
