sı̄´lens : Five Hebrew roots, with various derivatives, and two Greek words are thus translated. The word is used literally for dumbness, interrupted speech, as in Lamentations 2:10; Psalm 32:3; Ecclesiastes 3:7; Amos 5:13; Acts 15:12; 1 Corinthians 14:28; 1 Timothy 2:11 , 1 Timothy 2:12 the King James Version (the American Standard Revised Version "quietness"); Revelation 8:1 , or figuratively of the unanswered prayers of the believer ( Psalm 83:1; Psalm 35:22; Jeremiah 8:14 ); of awe in the presence of the Divine Majesty (Isaiah 41:1; Zechariah 2:13 ), or of death (1 Samuel 2:9; Psalm 94:17; Psalm 115:17 ).
