Be silent in the presence of the Lord God:

for the day of the Lord is at hand.

For the Lord has prepared a sacrifice:

He has invited His guests.

[Zephaniah 1:7]

I was mute with silence.
I held my peace even from good:
and my sorrow was stirred up.
[Psalm 39:2]

There was silence:

Then I heard a voice saying,

"Can a mortal be more righteous than God?

Can a man be more pure than his Maker?"

[Job 4:16-17]
