1 Samuel 2:9

רַגְלֵי ‫(חסידו)‬ חֲסִידָיו יִשְׁמֹר וּרְשָׁעִים בַּחֹשֶׁךְ יִדָּמּוּ כִּי-לֹא בְכֹחַ יִגְבַּר-אִֽישׁ׃

He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

Ezekiel 16:63

לְמַעַן תִּזְכְּרִי וָבֹשְׁתְּ וְלֹא יִֽהְיֶה-לָּךְ עוֹד פִּתְחוֹן פֶּה מִפְּנֵי כְּלִמָּתֵךְ בְּכַפְּרִי-לָךְ לְכָל-אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃

That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

Matthew 22:12

καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ Ἑταῖρε πῶς εἰσῆλθες ὧδε μὴ ἔχων ἔνδυμα γάμου ὁ δὲ ἐφιμώθη

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Genesis 44:16

וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה מַה-נֹּאמַר לַֽאדֹנִי מַה-נְּדַבֵּר וּמַה-נִּצְטַדָּק הָֽאֱלֹהִים מָצָא אֶת-עֲוֹן עֲבָדֶיךָ הִנֶּנּוּ עֲבָדִים לַֽאדֹנִי גַּם-אֲנַחְנוּ גַּם אֲשֶׁר-נִמְצָא הַגָּבִיעַ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃

And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

Romans 3:19

Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ὅσα ὁ νόμος λέγει τοῖς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ λαλεῖ ἵνα πᾶν στόμα φραγῇ καὶ ὑπόδικος γένηται πᾶς ὁ κόσμος τῷ θεῷ·

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them before the who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all world may become guilty God.
