"courts of the temple every sound was hushed. No priests ministered at the altars. The host of worshipers, bowed in silent awe, offered their petitions for God's mercy. MH 437.1"
"But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him."
Both passages describe a scene of reverence and silence before God in a temple setting. EGW's passage amplifies the idea of silent reverence in the temple, echoing the sentiment in Habakkuk.
