12 Je vous ai suivis attentivement, et voici, pas un de vous n'a convaincu Job, pas un n'a répondu à ses paroles.

Job 32:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:12

Yea, I attended unto you
Very closely, with great application and diligence, endeavouring to get, as it were, within them, and thoroughly understand the meaning of what they said:

and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job;
which was not owing to his obstinacy, but to want of proof in them, their words and arguments; they had charged Job highly, as particularly Eliphaz, ( Job 22:5-9 ) ; but then they failed in their proof; they produced nothing to support their allegations:

[or] that answered his words;
the arguments and reasons he gave in proof of his own innocence and uprightness, or the instances he produced, showing that God often afflicted good men, and suffered the wicked to prosper; and therefore no argument could be drawn from God's dealings with men, proving they were either of this or the other character, good or bad men.

Job 32:12 In-Context

10 C'est pourquoi je dis: Écoute-moi; je dirai mon avis, moi aussi.

11 Voici, j'ai attendu vos discours, j'ai écouté vos raisonnements, jusqu'à ce que vous eussiez bien examiné les discours de Job.

12 Je vous ai suivis attentivement, et voici, pas un de vous n'a convaincu Job, pas un n'a répondu à ses paroles.

13 Ne dites pas: Nous avons trouvé la sagesse! Dieu seul le mettra en fuite, et non un homme.

14 Il n'a pas dirigé ses discours contre moi, et je ne lui répondrai pas à votre manière.
