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;

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
