Amos 6:10
6:10 When their close relatives, the ones who will burn the corpses,
pick up their bodies to remove the bones from the house, they will say to anyone who is in the inner rooms of the house, “Is anyone else with you?” He will respond, “Be quiet! Don’t invoke the
Lord’s name!”
Ecclesiastes 3:7
3:7 A time to rip, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent, and a time to speak.
Isaiah 36:21
36:21 They were silent and did not respond, for the king had ordered, “Don’t respond to him.”
Hosea 4:4
The Lord’s Dispute against the Sinful Priesthood
4:4 Do not let anyone accuse or contend against anyone else:
for my case is against you priests!
Micah 7:5-7
7:5 Do not rely on a friend;
do not trust a companion!
Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms!
7:6 For a son thinks his father is a fool,
a daughter challenges her mother,
and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are his own servants.
7:7 But I will keep watching for the Lord;
I will wait for the God who delivers me.
My God will hear my lament.
Matthew 27:12-14

27:13 Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many charges they are bringing against you?”
27:14 But he did not answer even one accusation, so that the governor was quite amazed.
