Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, amongst you.
I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
I was taking note; and truly not one of you was able to make clear Job's error, or to give an answer to his words.
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.
