and they do not stay on its paths.

Job 32:4

Context
32:4 Now Elihu had waited before speaking² to Job, because the others³ were older than he was.

[24:13] ¹tn Heb “They are among those who.”

[32:4] ²tc This reading requires repointing the word בִּדְבָרִים (bidbarim, “with words”) to בְּדָבְּרָם (bÿdabbÿram, “while they spoke [with Job]”). If the MT is retained, it would mean “he waited for Job with words,” which while understandable is awkward.

[32:4] ³tn Heb “they”; the referent (the other friends) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
