In the Hebrew context, "nobles" (Hebrew: "nedibim") refers to those of high status and influence. Job's presence and wisdom were so profound that even the most esteemed leaders would fall silent. Historically, this reflects the societal structure where wisdom and righteousness were highly valued, and those who possessed them were revered, regardless of their social standing.<p><b>were hushed</b><br />The Hebrew root for "hushed" (Hebrew: "chadal") implies a cessation or stopping. This suggests that the nobles, who were typically vocal and authoritative, chose to remain silent in Job's presence. This silence is not just a lack of speech but a profound respect and acknowledgment of Job's superior wisdom and moral authority. It reflects a cultural understanding that true wisdom commands attention and respect.<p><b>and their tongues</b><br />The "tongues" (Hebrew: "lashon") symbolize speech and communication. In biblical literature, the tongue is often associated with the power of words, which can build up or tear down. Here, the imagery of the tongue being restrained indicates a voluntary submission to Job's wisdom, recognizing that their own words were unnecessary or inadequate in comparison.<p><b>stuck to the roofs of their mouths</b><br />This vivid imagery conveys an involuntary silence, as if their ability to speak was physically restrained. The Hebrew phrase suggests a divine or awe-inspired silence, where the presence of true wisdom renders others speechless. This can be seen as a metaphor for the overwhelming respect and awe that Job's character and insights inspired in those around him. In a broader scriptural context, it reflects the biblical theme that true wisdom and righteousness are gifts from God, commanding respect and reverence from all, regardless of their earthly status.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The nobles held their peace</span>. The other leading men followed the example of the "princes," and equally kept silence till Job had spoken. And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their month. A pleonastic repetition.
