Job 32:16

16 ¿Y voy a quedarme callado ante su silencio,ante su falta de respuesta?

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 Ni Job se ha dirigido a mí,ni yo he de responderle como ustedes.

15 »Job, tus amigos están desconcertados;no pueden responder, les faltan las palabras.

16 ¿Y voy a quedarme callado ante su silencio,ante su falta de respuesta?

17 Yo también tengo algo que decir,y voy a demostrar mis conocimientos.

18 Palabras no me faltan;el espíritu que hay en mí me obliga a hablar.
