Job 19:23
that ....... O <05414> [Oh. Heb. Who will give, etc. my words.]
that ....... O ..... written <05414 02710> [oh that they were.]
Rather, "Oh that they were described {yuchakoo} in a book, with an iron stile and lead! Were graven on a rock for ever!" Pliny observes, "At first men wrote on palm leaves, and afterwards on the bark or rind of other trees. In process of time, public monuments were written on rolls of lead ({plumbeis voluminibus}); and those of a private nature on linen books, or tables covered with wax."
Job 32:11
waited ..... speak <03176 01697> [I waited for.]
wise thoughts <08394> [reasons. Heb. understandings.]
Instead of {tevoonotheychem,} nine MSS. read {techoonotheychem,} "your arguments;" but the sense is nearly the same.
searching <02713> [whilst.]
{Ad tachkeroon millin,} "whilst ye were searching for words;" a fine irony, which they must have felt.
words <04405> [what to say. Heb. words.]
