Comentário sobre Jó 40:4
הֵ֣ן קַ֭לֹּתִי מָ֣ה אֲשִׁיבֶ֑ךָּ יָ֝דִ֗י שַׂ֣מְתִּי לְמוֹ־פִֽי׃
Eis que sou vil; que te responderia eu? Antes ponho a minha mão sobre a boca.
Malbim on Job
Job answers that his silence had denoted his surrender. He had been chastened by God’s oration and now recognized the insignificance of his own suffering. Furthermore, he acknowledges that the thesis he had proposed at the opening of the debate, namely, that the suffering of the righteous denies the existence of Providence, had been totally demolished by God’s revelation and oration.
