פירוש על איוב 20:2

Zophar’s answer
my thoughts will cause me to answer My thoughts will answer me with an answer in my mouth, and because I keep my peace and remain silent, and I put my silence within me, my thoughts will give me an answer to reply. The chastisement of my disgrace I hear from you the chastisement of my disgrace, that you disgrace me. Therefore, a word of spirit shall answer me out of my understanding, to reply to you.

Zophar first announces that he will no longer be basing his arguments on the quasi-Kantian epistemology he had put forward in the first round, having had it so rudely dismissed by Job. Instead, he will argue purely on the basis of observation and experience.

my silence Heb. חושי, my silence, like (Ecc. 3:7), “a time to be silent (לחשות).”
