Job 32:16

16 J'ai attendu qu'ils eussent fini leurs discours, Qu'ils s'arrêtassent et ne sussent que répliquer.

[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.

Job 32:16 In-Context

16 J'ai attendu qu'ils eussent fini leurs discours, Qu'ils s'arrêtassent et ne sussent que répliquer.

17 A mon tour, je veux répondre aussi, Je veux dire aussi ce que je pense.

18 Car je suis plein de paroles, L'esprit me presse au dedans de moi;
