1118:1
VERS. i6. — Ergo Job frustra aperit eoa luum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat. 40. Superborum vitia sunt loquacittas, et audiendi impatientia. — Hæc nimirum inferens, beatuni Job et nil scisse asserit? et multa dixisse; et cum ipse quae sentit loquaciter inferai, hunc de vitio loquacitatis accusat. Sed hoc quoque esse proprium arrogantium vitium solet, ut et pauca credant quae ipsi multa dixerint, et inulta credant quæ ipsis pauia dicuntur. Quia enim sua dicere semper volunt, aliena audire non possunt; vimse pati existimant, si ea quæ innnoderate sentiunt immoderatius non efTundant.
VERSE 16. — 'Job therefore opens his mouth in vain, and multiplies words without knowledge.' 40. The vices of the proud are talkativeness and impatience in listening. — Bringing forward these things, does he not assert that blessed Job knew nothing, and yet said much; and while he himself talkatively brings forward what he feels, he accuses Job of the vice of talkativeness? But this too is wont to be a vice proper to the arrogant, that they both count as few the things they themselves have said many, and count as many the things that are said few to them. For because they always wish to say their own things, they cannot hear the things of others; they reckon it a violence suffered, if they do not more immoderately pour out those things which they immoderately feel.
第十六節——「所以約伯徒然開口，多發無知的言語」。四十、驕傲人的惡習是多言與不耐煩聽人。——他提出這些話來，豈不是斷言聖約伯一無所知、卻說了許多麼；當他自己饒舌地提出自己所想的時，卻控告約伯有多言的毛病？然而這正是驕傲人特有的毛病：他們把自己所說的許多話當作少，把別人向他們所說的少許話當作多。因為他們總想說自己的話，就不能聽別人的話；他們若不能把自己過度所想的更過度地傾吐出來，便以為受了委屈。
1118:2
Et quamvis beatus Job ad ejus verba tacuerk, Eliu tamen de locutione illius, qua amicis responderat, causam invectionis invenit, b ut sibi exhibere latius ejus silentium posset, atque ut ipse multa respondeat, illum, verba multiplicasse confirmat. Nam etmox initia prolixae locutionis exordiiur; et quasi adhuc nil dixerit, inchoare conatur. Unde subditur:
And although blessed Job kept silent at his words, Elihu nevertheless found a cause for invective from that speech of his by which he had answered his friends, so that he might be able to display his silence more at length, and so that, in order that he himself might answer much, he affirms that Job had multiplied words. For indeed he immediately begins the outset of a lengthy discourse; and as though he had as yet said nothing, he attempts to make a beginning. Whence it is subjoined:
雖然聖約伯對他的話默不作聲，以利戶卻從約伯回答他朋友們的那番話裡找到攻擊的把柄，好叫自己能更充分地展現約伯的沉默，並且好叫自己得以多說，便斷定約伯多發了言語。因為他隨即開始了冗長話語的起頭；彷彿他至今尚未說過什麼，便試圖從頭說起。故此接著說：
