“Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.”
King James Version (KJV)
32:9 Judgment - What is just and right.
32:12 Convinced - By solid and satisfactory answers.
32:13 Left - God thus left you to your own weakness, lest you should ascribe the conquering or silencing of Job to your own wisdom. God - This is alleged by Elihu, in the person of Job's three friends; the sense is, the judgments which are upon Job, have not been brought upon him by man originally, but by the hand of God, for his gross, though secret sins: but, saith Elihu, this argument doth not satisfy me, and therefore bear with me if I seek for better.
Behold, I waited for your words: I gaue eare to your reasons, whilest you searched out what to say.
