Job 4:12 Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth, as it were, received the veins of its whisper.

Private. Heretics pretend such obscure visions, rather to get credit than to edify others. (St. Gregory, 5:18.) (Worthington) --- Many suppose that Eliphaz was guilty of feigning: but the greatest part think that he had truly seen a vision, but did not draw the proper conclusions from it. (Calmet) --- Protestants, "Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof." (Haydock)
