Thomas Aquinas, on Job 29:21

“They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.”

“As in what precedes he has described both the severity and the mercy which he showed in judgment, he shows now in the third how he also used wisdom. First, he used wisdom in judgments, and expressing this he says, "Those who heard me," because they were subject to my judgment, "awaited the judgment," namely mine, believing that they would hear something very wise. As to counsel he says, "and kept silence, attentive to my counsels," waiting for him and listening eagerly.”
