John Trapp on Job 29:9

Verſe 9 The Princes refrained talking] Not only as acknowledging his Authority, but as admiring his great Eloquence, and hanging upon his lips, as the babe doth upon the breſt, the Bee upon the flower, or the little bird upon her Dams bill.

And laid their hand on their mouth] Kiſſing their hands and adoring me (adorare eſt applicare manuns ad os) Or rather, as ſtopping their mouths, being aſhamed to ſpeak in his preſence, whom they knew to be far beyond them in wiſdome and elocution. Now of this honour done Job by all sorts of people, Brentius hath this Note, Parùm eſt ingentes camelos poſſidere, &c. It is a ſmall matter, that Job had many Camels and Flocks of ſheep: this was a greater bleſſing of God upon him, that he was honoured and obſerved by all ſorts. This followeth vertue (as the ſhadow doth the body) at the heeles. To do worthily in Ephrata, is the way to be famous in Bethlehem, Ruth 4.11.
