Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 12 of 21
"They shall wait for me when I hold my peace, and they shall look upon me when I speak, and if I talk much they shall lay their hands on their mouths."
In context
10For her sake I shall have glory among the multitude, and honour with the ancients, though I be young:
11And I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of the mighty, and the faces of princes shall wonder at me.
12They shall wait for me when I hold my peace, and they shall look upon me when I speak, and if I talk much they shall lay their hands on their mouths.
13Moreover by the means of her I shall have immortality: and shall leave behind me an everlasting memory to them that come after me.
14I shall set the people in order: and nations shall be subject to me.
