Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
“Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 6–14
Elihu professes to speak by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and corrects both parties. He allowed that those who had the longest experience should speak first. But God gives wisdom as he pleases; this encouraged him to state his opinion. By attention to the word of God, and dependence upon the Holy Spirit, young men may become wiser than the aged; but this wisdom will render them swift to hear, slow to speak, and disposed to give others a patient hearing.
