- and a time to speak:
- "Then Judahª came nearª° unto him,¹ and said,ª° Ohª my lord,ª let thy servant,ª I pray thee,¹ speakª° a wordª in my lord'sª ears,ª and let not¹ thine angerª burnª° against thy servant:ª for¹ thou [art] even as¹ Pharaoh.ª" {Gen 44:18} + "For¹ howª shall I go upª° to¹ my father,ª and the ladª [be] not¹ with¹ me? lest peradventure¹ I seeª° the evilª that¹ shall come onª°¹ my father.ª" {Gen 44:34} + "And Jonathanª spakeª° goodª of Davidª unto¹ Saulª his father,ª and saidª° unto¹ him, Let not¹ the kingª sinª° against his servant,ª against David;ª because¹ he hath not¹ sinnedª° against thee, and because¹ his worksª [have been] to thee-ward veryª good:ª ... For he did putª°¹ his lifeª in his hand,ª and slewª°¹ the Philistine,ª and the LORDª wroughtª° a greatª salvationª for all¹ Israel:ª thou sawestª° [it], and didst rejoice:ª° wherefore¹ then wilt thou sinª° against innocentª blood,ª to slayª°¹ Davidª without a cause?ª" {1Sm 19:4-5} + "And fellª° at¹ his feet,ª and said,ª° Upon me,¹ my lord,ª [upon] me [let this] iniquityª [be]: and let thine handmaid,ª I pray thee,¹ speakª° in thine audience,ª and hearª°¹ the wordsª of thine handmaid.²¹ ... But Saulª had givenª°¹ Michalª his daughter,ª David'sª wife,ª to Phaltiª the sonª of Laish,ª which¹ [was] of Gallim.ª¹" {1Sm 25:24-44} + "Then Mordecaiª commandedª° to answerª°¹ Esther,ª Thinkª° not¹ with thyselfª that thou shalt escapeª° in the king'sª house,ª more than all¹¹ the Jews.ª ... For¹ if¹ thou altogether²° holdest thy peaceª° at this¹ time,ª [then] shall there enlargementª and deliveranceª ariseª° to the Jewsª from another² place;ª¹¹ but thou¹ and thy father'sª houseª shall be destroyed:ª° and who¹ knowethª° whether¹ thou art comeª° to the kingdomª for [such] a timeª as this?¹" {Est 4:13-14} + "For¹ we are sold,ª° I¹ and my people,ª to be destroyed,ª° to be slain,ª° and to perish.ª° But ifª we had been soldª° for bondmenª and bondwomen,ª I had held my tongue,ª° although¹ the enemyª could not¹ countervailª° the king'sª damage.ª" {Est 7:4} + "Now Elihuª had waitedª° till¹ Jobª had spoken,ª because¹ they¹ [were] elderªª than¹ he. ... Men²¹ do therefore¹ fearª° him: he respectethª° not¹ any¹ [that are] wiseª of heart.ª" {Job 32:4-37:24} + "If¹ thou forbearª° to deliverª° [them that are] drawnª° unto death,ª and [those that are] readyª° to be slain;ª ... If¹ thou sayest,ª° Behold,¹ we knewª° it¹ not;¹ doth not¹ he that ponderethª° the heart²¹ considerª° [it]? and he that keepethª° thy soul,ª doth [not] he¹ knowª° [it]? and shall [not] he renderª° to [every] manª according to his works?ª" {Prv 24:11-12} + "Openª° thy mouthª for the dumbª in¹ the causeª of all¹ such as are appointedª to destruction.ª ... Openª° thy mouth,ª judgeª° righteously,ª and plead²° the cause¹ of the poorª and needy.ª" {Prv 31:8-9} + "And¹ when heª was come nigh,ª° even² nowª atª the¹ descentª of the¹ mountª of Olives,ª the¹ wholeª multitudeª of the¹ disciplesª beganª° to rejoiceª° and praiseª° Godª with a loudª voiceª forª allª the mighty worksª thatª they had seen;ª° ... Andª he answeredª° and saidª° unto them,ª I tellª° youª that,ª ifª theseª should hold their peace,ª° the¹ stonesª would immediately cry out.ª°" {Lke 19:37-40} + "Forª weª cannotªª° butª speakª° the things whichª we have seenª° andª heard.ª°" {Act 4:20}
