Silence

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.

Men listened to me with expectation, waiting silently for my counsel.

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.
