Others render it thus,1 My Eloquence shall not be heavy upon thee; that's far from the text; yet there is a truth in the thing; As if Elihu had said, Though I am about to speak, and have much to speak, yet I would not speak such words, nor so many (I hope) as shall be burdensome to thee. I would not burden thee with Eloquence; that is, either with affected Eloquence, or the over-flowings of Eloquence. Multiplicity of expression is very burdensome; nor is any thing in speech more grievous to a wise man, then an unnecessary heap of words. They who have a fluency of speech, are usually more pleased to hear themselves speak, then others are to hear them. Elihu (according to this reading) spake discreetly, and to the purpose, while he thus engageth to Job; I will not burden thee with my Eloquence. But I pass that also.
