The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Los líderes importantes guardaron silencio, y sus lenguas se pegaron al paladar de sus bocas.
Ante Job, hasta los líderes más importantes callaban con respeto.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Job, set in the ancient patriarchal era, Job is reminiscing about his former life of prosperity and influence, where he was highly respected as a just and wise leader. The nobles holding their peace and their tongues cleaving to the roof of their mouth symbolizes the deep deference and silence they showed in his presence, reflecting the cultural norms of ancient Near Eastern societies where authority figures commanded such respect. This verse fits into Job's lament, as he contrasts his past honor with his current suffering.
