Jó 32:14

14 Ora ele não dirigiu contra mim palavra alguma, nem lhe responderei com as vossas palavras.

Jó 32:14 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:14

Now he hath not directed [his] words against me
That is, Job had not directed his speech to him, or levelled his arguments against him; he had not set himself and his words in battle array against him, as the word signifies; he had not lashed and irritated him as he had them; and therefore he came into the dispute calm and unprovoked, having nothing in view but truth, the glory of God, and the good of Job; and therefore hoped for better success than they had had:

neither will I answer him with your speeches;
he proposed to take a new and different method from them, as he did; for he never charges Job with any sin or sins, or a course of living in a sinful manner, before those afflictions came upon him, and as the cause of them; he only takes notice of what was amiss in him since his afflictions, and what dropped from him in the heat of this controversy, rash and unbecoming speeches, which reflected upon the honour and justice of God; and if he made use of any words and arguments similar to theirs, yet to another purpose, and in a milder and gentler manner.

Jó 32:14 In-Context

12 Eu, pois, vos prestava toda a minha atenção, e eis que não houve entre vós quem convencesse a Jó, nem quem respondesse �s suas palavras;

13 pelo que não digais: Achamos a sabedoria; Deus é que pode derrubá-lo, e não o homem.

14 Ora ele não dirigiu contra mim palavra alguma, nem lhe responderei com as vossas palavras.

15 Estão pasmados, não respondem mais; faltam-lhes as palavras.

16 Hei de eu esperar, porque eles não falam, porque já pararam, e não respondem mais?
