"I waited to hear what you would say." The word "your" refers to Job's friends and so is plural. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you)

Alternate translation: "thinking about what to say" or "trying to think of the right thing to say" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
