Be quiet Flashcards
(Be quiet)
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1 Thess.4:11
(Be quiet)
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
Ecclesiastes. 5:1,2
(Be quiet)
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jam.1:19
(Be quiet)
Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same.
Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with patience give answer.
If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbour; if not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Honour and shame is in talk: and the tongue of man is his fall.
Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condemnation upon the double tongue.
Sir.5:10-14
(Be quiet)
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
Prov.10:19
(Be quiet)
Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest.
Sir.7:14
(Be quiet)
A man of an ill tongue is dangerous in his city; and he that is rash in his talk shall be hated.
Sir.9:18
(Be quiet)
He that can rule his tongue shall live without strife; and he that hateth babbling shall have less evil.
Sir.19:6
(Be quiet)
There is a reproof that is not comely: again, some man holdeth his tongue, and he is wise.
A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
Sir.20:1,7
