Job 32:16

When one had waited ,.... To observe whether they would make any reply to what he had said, or any objection to his engaging in the controversy:

for they spake not ; were as mute as fishes:

but stood still ; like statues, had no power to move, neither to sit down nor to depart, but were as if all life, sense, and motion, were gone from them:

and answered no more ; or not at all; for it does not appear that they had given him any answer before, as well as not now.
