Haydock's commentary
Men. Hebrew, "shall thy lies make men keep silence?" Septuagint, "Blessed be the short-lived son of a woman. Speak not much, for there is no one to give sentence against thee." (Haydock)
Mocked, by not acquiescing to their solid arguments, (Menochius) and speaking with much animation. (Pineda)
