Behold, I waited for your words.
1Mr Broughton renders, Behold, I waited through your speech, or, into your words. I stood still, but I have not been asleep, I have long expected, you would say what is right, and I have seriously considered what you said, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons.

1That is, to find what convincing reason was couched in your arguments. The Hebrew is, I gave ear to your understanding; That is, I attended to find out your apprehensions, or to gather up your sense in this matter, that I might not mistake your meaning, nor answer at random. The vulgar translation reads it, I have heard your wisdom; That is, what wisdom there was in ⟨p. 75⟩your words. The truth or reason that is in words,2 is the wisdom of them. So that, when Elihu saith, I gave ear to your reasons, or, to your understanding, it intimates that he took the exactest heed he possibly could to find out the utmost tendency and purpose of their discourse. As if he had said; I have weighed every tittle that ye have spoken, and tried it by mine ear, to find whether it were solid yea or no.
