“When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)”
And I have waited, and behold, they do not speak, because they stand still and answer no more, reiterating that the three friends have entirely ceased speaking, establishing that their silence has become evident to all. The waiting and seeing of no speech reaffirms that the three friends have nothing further to say. The standing still suggests their present condition of immobility and inactivity. The verse emphasizes their complete verbal exhaustion.
