Vers. 1. So these three men ceased to answer Job.
They who had maintained the dispute all this while, ceased, rested, or sate down. When men speak they usually stand up ⟨p. 3⟩or stand forth. The word in the Hebrew may be rendered thus; They sabbatized, implying they had found it a week of hard work,1 and strong labour in dealing and tugging with Job; And now as if their seventh day or Sabbath were come, they sate down and took their rest. Speaking, especially arguing and disputing with a knowing and resolved adversary, is tough work; And they who have been at it to purpose, may for very weariness have cause-nough to rest or take their Sabbath; so did these three men, they ceased or sabbatized from answering Job.
