These are the sons of Ham,....

- Proverbs 10:8
A wise heart will receive commandments, but foolish lips will come to ruin.
Commentary on Proverbs 10:81 voice
The wise in heart will receive commandments,.... Such who have true wisdom in the hidden part of the heart, of which the fear of the Lord is the beginning: these will not only, as good subjects, honour their king, and attend to his lawful commands; and, as dutiful children, regard those of their parents; and, as faithful servants, hearken to those of their masters; but, as such that fear the Lord, will receive and cheerfully obey the commandments of God and Christ; but a prating fool shall fall; like Diotrephes, that prated against the Apostle John and other saints.

- Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
Commentary on Proverbs 10:191 voice
The virtue of silence, especially in church, is very great. Let no sentence of the divine lessons escape you. If you give ear, restrain your voice, utter no word with your lips which you would wish to bring back, but let your boldness to speak be sparing. For in truth in much speaking there is abundance of sin. To the murderer it was said, "You have sinned, be silent," that he might not sin more; but to the virgin it must be said, "Be silent lest you sin."
Ambrose of Milan· Concerning Virginity 3.3.11, 397Patristic
- Proverbs 17:27
A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.
Commentary on Proverbs 17:271 voice
He asks of wisdom, who seeks to know what is the will of God. And he will show himself prudent who is sparing of his words on that which he has come to learn. If one inquires about wisdom, desiring to learn something about wisdom, while another asks nothing of wisdom, as not only wishing to learn nothing about wisdom himself, but even keeping back his neighbours from so doing, the former certainly is deemed to be more prudent than the latter.

- Proverbs 29:20
Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Commentary on Proverbs 29:201 voice
In all things be "quick to listen and slow to speak" lest the remark of Solomon be fulfilled in you: "If you see a man too ready of speech, know that a fool has more hope than he." And never dare to teach someone what you have not practiced yourself.
John Cassian· CONFERENCE 14:9, 435Patristic
- Ecclesiastes 3:7
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:72 voices
"A time to acquire and a time to lose. A time to keep and a time to throw away. "As is in many verses before the meaning is the same here too, which is apparent before and following this verse, in that he says: "A time to destroy and a time to build. " And then "A time to rend and a time to mend.
Jerome· Commentary on Ecclesiastes, 420Patristic
"A time for silence and a time for speaking." I think that the Pythagoreans, whose discipline is to remain silent for five years and afterwards to speak to learned men, took the origin of their decree from this. Let us learn therefore and so remain silent first, so that afterwards we open our mouths only to speak. Let us be silent for a set period and depend on the utterances of our teacher. Nothing seems right to us unless we learn that after much silence we are made into teachers by our pupils.
Jerome· Commentary on Ecclesiastes, 420Patristic
- Isaiah 66:18
“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
Commentary on Isaiah 66:181 voice
By horses, and chariots, and litters, and mules and wagons, and vehicles of various kinds, we can understand Angelic ministries, of which elsewhere it is said to God: Ascend upon your horses, and your riding is salvation (Hab. 3:8). With these horses, chariots, and chariots, Elijah was taken up to heaven, and Elisha showed himself to be surrounded and protected by them, demonstrating to the unaware boy (2 Kings 2).
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Acts 2:1–18
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Commentary on Acts 2:1–181 voice
The first infusion of the Holy Spirit into the congregated disciples took place at "the third hour."

Tertullian· On Prayer, 220Patristic
- Acts 2:33
Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
Commentary on Acts 2:331 voice
"And He had in His right hand seven stars." He said that in His right hand He had seven stars, because the Holy Spirit of sevenfold agency was given into His power by the Father. As Peter exclaimed to the Jews: "Being at the right hand of God exalted, He hath shed forth this Spirit received from the Father, which ye both see and hear." Moreover, John the Baptist had also anticipated this, by saying to his disciples: "For God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him.

That we must not grieve the Holy Spirit, whom we have received. Paul the apostle to the Ephesians: "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed in the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be taken away from you."
