Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, president of the U.N. General Assembly, granted the request for the moment of silence Thursday. As the United States and other western delegations boycotted, the rest of the delegates and officials in the chamber stood in silence for about 25 seconds, some bowing their heads.

The tribute came after Nasser, as well as the leaders of Russia, Venezuela and other countries, visited the North Korean mission at the U.N. the day before, according to North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency.

Isa 5:20

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isa 5:21

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Isa 5:22

Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink:

Isa 5:23

Who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the justice of the righteous from him!
