But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

And He, because of His affliction, opened not His mouth; He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth.

Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up and ready to burst; or as a brazier's laboring bellows.

I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.

For we can do none other but to speak the things which we saw and heard.
