Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 4:16

16. It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: An Image was before mine Eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

Having passed by him too and again he made a stand, as one that had some business with him, and addressed himself to speak to him.

To wit, exactly and distinctly, so as to know what or who it was.

I saw some corporeal or visible Resemblance, though in a confused manner.

The Spirit, which possibly had made some noise with his motion, now standing still made no noise; all other persons and things about me were silent, and I also kept in my Voice and Breath, as much as I could, that I might distinctly hear what I perceived the Spirit was speaking to me. In the Hebrew the words run thus, Silence and a voice, (i. e. A silent, or still, or low voice, by a very common figure called, Hendiadis) I heard.

Marginal references: Or, I heard a still voice.
