Job 32:11 - Exposition

Behold, I waited for your words ; i.e. "I was full of expectation; I waited impatiently to hear what you would say." Then, while you spoke, I gave ear to your reasons —or, your reasonings ; I did my best to apprehend your meaning—whilst ye searched out what to say . Professor Lee translates, "whilst ye examined Job ' s c onclusions; but the Authorized Version is probably correct. Elihu means that he listened carefully while the friends hunted out all the arguments they could think of in order to confute Job.
