George Leo Haydock

Then. Septuagint, “After Eliu had ceased to speak.” (Haydock) — Lord. That is, an angel speaking in the name of the Lord. (Challoner) — The name Jehova (Haydock) here occurs, though it never does in the speeches; whence many have inferred that the Lord spoke in person; which argument, however, is not conclusive; and that this work was written after the apparition in the burning bush. (Calmet) — The Hebrew edition would at least be given after that event. — Whirlwind, designed to strike the senses, (Haydock) and to represent the distressed condition of Job. (Pineda) — This awful appearance imposed silence upon all. (Haydock) — Some think that a time was allowed for reflection and repentance, before God passed sentence; but the Septuagint, &c., seem to suppose that the cause was decided as soon as Eliu had ended his discourse. (Calmet) — God discusses the controversy, and gives sentence in favour of Job. (Worthington)
