Nehemiah 8:11

And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for [it is] a holy day, and despond not.

So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.

So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Don’t be grieved.”
