Job 32:16

16 Y yo esperé, porque no hablaban, antes pararon, y no respondieron más

Job 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.

Job 32:16 In-Context

14 Ahora bien, él no dirigió a mí sus palabras, ni yo le responderé con vuestras razones

15 Se espantaron, no respondieron más; se les fueron las palabras

16 Y yo esperé, porque no hablaban, antes pararon, y no respondieron más

17 Por eso yo también responderé mi parte, también yo declararé mi opinión

18 Porque lleno estoy de palabras, y el espíritu de mi vientre me constriñe
