TSK · Ecclesiastes 3:7

Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn't in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

Then Judah came near to him, and said, "Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and don't let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn't tell him.

She fell at his feet, and said, "On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ears. Hear the words of your handmaid.

David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. King David followed the bier.

It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me."

But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Don't answer him."

So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.

Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Yahweh our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Yahweh.

Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.

Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.

Don't trust in a neighbor. Don't put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!

for we can't help telling the things which we saw and heard."
