321 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
321 Job's three friends now fell silent. They were talked out, stymied because Job wouldn't budge an inch - wouldn't admit to an ounce of guilt.
321 So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
321 Job's three friends refused to reply further to him because he kept insisting on his innocence.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 32:1
Commentary on Job 32:1-5
(Read Job 32:1-5)
Job's friends were silenced, but not convinced. Others had been present. Elihu was justly displeased with Job, as more anxious to clear his own character than the justice and goodness of God. Elihu was displeased with Job's friends because they had not been candid to Job. Seldom is a quarrel begun, more seldom is a quarrel carried on, in which there are not faults on both sides. Those that seek for truth, must not reject what is true and good on either side, nor approve or defend what is wrong.
