The Hebrew that is translated as «silent» or «say nothing» in English is translated in the Protestant Mandarin Chinese Union Version with two historical 4-character Chinese idioms: mòmò wúshēng (默默無聲 / 默默无声), mòmò bùyán (默默不言), jìngmò bù yán (靜默不言), or jìngmò wúshēng (靜默無聲 / 静默无声) all «silent (lit. «quiet – no sound [or: words]»).
See also silent / still, shut mouth / silence, and silent.
