After my words they did not speak again, and my speech settled upon them like dew, describing the effect of Job's words as silencing objection and settling into the consciousness of his audience like gentle moisture. The not speaking again suggests that Job's words achieved finality, that once spoken, they settled the matter. The comparison to dew suggests that Job's speech nourished and refreshed those who heard it. The verse establishes that Job's words functioned not through coercion but through their inherent persuasive power.
