'Silence' in the Bible
Will your idle talk reduce people to silence, and will no one rebuke you when you mock?
"Indeed, I am completely unworthy -- how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself.
If the Lord had not helped me, I would have laid down in the silence of death.
The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death.
"Listen to me in silence, you coastlands! Let the nations find renewed strength! Let them approach and then speak; let us come together for debate!
(Yod) The elders of Daughter Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dirt on their heads; They have dressed in sackcloth. Jerusalem's young women stare down at the ground.
(Yod) Let a person sit alone in silence, when the Lord is disciplining him.
Groan in silence for the dead, but do not perform mourning rites. Bind on your turban and put your sandals on your feet. Do not cover your lip and do not eat food brought by others."
I will silence the noise of your songs; the sound of your harps will be heard no more.
