How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
Job 18:2 — KJV
How long will it be? Bildad reproaches Job for his many words. In his former speech he had done likewise (ch. 8:2). The reason for the second person plural in this and the following verses is not clear. Perhaps Bildad regards Job as having supporters among the lookers on, of whom there may have been several, or he is addressing not only Job but those also who believed as Job did.
Mark. That is, observe, give heed to, consider. Think a little instead of talking. Then, calmly and without hurry, we will proceed to reply to what you have said.
