Ecclesiastes 3:7

rend—garments, in mourning (Joel 2:13); figuratively, nations, as Israel from Judah, already foretold, in Solomon's time (I Kings 11:30-31), to be "sewed" together hereafter (Ezekiel 37:15, Ezekiel 37:22).

silence— (Amos 5:13), in a national calamity, or that of a friend (Job 2:13); also not to murmur under God's visitation (Leviticus 10:3; Psalms 39:1-2, Psalms 39:9).
