Vers. 12. Yea, I attended unto you, and behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words.
I attended unto you; That is, I did not only desire to receive full satisfaction from you, but I attended, hoping at last to find it. I stayed, I did not make haste, nor did I hasten you.1 Some expound the word with a great significancy, I did as throughly consider and attend what was said, as if I had looked into you. Thus (saith Elihu) I attended unto you.

But what did he find? He found two faults in their words after he had attended unto them throughly. First, he found them faulty, because none of them had convinced Job. Their proofs did not make good their accusations. The second fault which Elihu ⟨p. 78⟩found, was, They had not refuted Jobs assertion. As if he had said, Ye have spoken much, but upon the matter have done little. I waited, & I attended, expecting great things from you, but I have bin deceived in my expectation, For having taken out the strength and substance, the spirits and quintessence of your speech, I find nothing coming up, either to a conviction of Job, as faulty in matter of fact, nor to an answer of him, as defective in matter of argument. So that when I have laid all that ye have spoken in the balance, it weighs too light, Job is your match, yea, he hath over-matched you.
