Commentary on Job 40:6
"Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further." Job commits to silence—he spoke "once" and "twice" (Hebrew idiom for "repeatedly"), but now stops. The verb asif (אֹסִיף, "I will add/proceed") is negated. Job recognizes his previous speeches, though sincere, were presumptuous. This demonstrates repentance—not for moral failure but for epistemic pride. Job thought he could judge God's ways; now he knows better. The verse models proper response to divine revelation—ceasing self-justification and accepting God's authority.
