Judges 18:19 They said to him, "Be silent, put your hand over your mouth and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?" (NASB ©1995)Judges 17:10 Micah then said to him, "Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your maintenance." So the Levite went in.
Job 21:5 "Look at me, and be astonished, And put your hand over your mouth.
Job 29:9 "The princes stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;
Job 40:4 "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth.

They perhaps supposed the piety of their motives, and the goodness of their end, would justify the means. But it was a base robbery of Micah, aggravated by the Levite's ingratitude, and their menaces.
