Giobbe 32:15

15 Eccoli sconcertati! non rispondon più, non trovan più parole.

Giobbe 32:15 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:15

They were amazed
They were like persons thunderstruck, quite surprised and astonished to hear a young man talk after this manner:

they answered no more;
as they had ceased to answer Job, they did not undertake to answer Elihu, who had plainly told them their arguments were not convincing, their answers were no answers, and that they had done a wrong thing in condemning Job without proof; and that which they thought their greatest wisdom, and strongest argument, had no wisdom nor strength in it; namely, which was taken from his sore afflictions by the hand of God:

they left off speaking;
or words departed from them, as Jarchi; their speech left them, they seemed deprived of it: Mr. Broughton renders the whole,

``they shrink away, do speak no more, speeches be departed from them.''

Giobbe 32:15 In-Context

13 Non avete dunque ragione di dire: "Abbiam trovato la sapienza! Dio soltanto lo farà cedere; non l’uomo!"

14 Egli non ha diretto i suoi discorsi contro a me, ed io non gli risponderò colle vostre parole.

15 Eccoli sconcertati! non rispondon più, non trovan più parole.

16 Ed ho aspettato che non parlassero più, che restassero e non rispondessero più.

17 Ma ora risponderò anch’io per mio conto, esporrò anch’io il mio pensiero!
