Jó 32:16

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

Jó 32:16 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:16

When one had waited
To observe whether they would make any reply to what he had said, or any objection to his engaging in the controversy:

for they spake not;
were as mute as fishes:

but stood still;
like statues, had no power to move, neither to sit down nor to depart, but were as if all life, sense, and motion, were gone from them:

[and] answered no more;
or not at all; for it does not appear that they had given him any answer before, as well as not now.

Jó 32:16 In-Context

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?
17 Eu também darei a minha resposta; eu também declararei a minha opinião.
18 Pois estou cheio de palavras; o espírito dentro de mim me constrange.
