Quit

and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we did command you,

but--the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

Desist, and know that I <FI>am<Fi> God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

For thus said the Lord Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel: `In returning and rest ye are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might, And ye have not been willing.

Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!

for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.

The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools.

A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.

Jehovah thy God <FI>is<Fi> in thy midst, A mighty one doth save, He rejoiceth over thee with joy, He doth work in His love, He joyeth over thee with singing.'

And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness--Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.

A time to rend, And a time to sew. A time to be silent, And a time to speak.

Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me <FI>is<Fi> my soul.

Jehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.'

and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --

And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And <FI>is<Fi> quiet from fear of evil!'

Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.

In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips <FI>is<Fi> wise.

Only--for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him <FI>is<Fi> my hope.

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

`Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye <FI>thus<Fi> in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. --A Psalm of David. Only--toward God <FI>is<Fi> my soul silent, From Him <FI>is<Fi> my salvation.

Better <FI>is<Fi> a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.

He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.

Shew me, and I--I keep silent, And what I have erred, let me understand.

The fear of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> to life, And satisfied he remaineth--he is not charged with evil.

of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome--gentle, showing all meekness to all men,

and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance <FI>is<Fi> in a multitude of counsellors.

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

Who <FI>is<Fi> wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,

Cease, my son, to hear instruction--To err from sayings of knowledge.

In the heart of the intelligent wisdom doth rest. And in the midst of fools it is known.
