Noticed a massive difference in job 32-1, lamsa has' so these three men who wanted to condemn job ceased answering him, because he was found righteous in their eyes'.
The king james has' so these three men ceased to answer job, because he was righteous in his own eyes'. I don't know what else to say..

Shlama Stephen,
The Aramaic "huun" ending is the 3rd plural ending -"theirs"; The Hebrew ending for "their,theirs" is "hem"- He,Mem. "Eynayhem" is the Hebrew for "their eyes".
As it reads in Hebrew, "eynayu" is "his eyes" (3rd singular). I don't see where you get 2nd singular, which in Hebrew would have a final Kaph: "eynayka"-"your eyes"
The Aramaic reading is quite different, yet it actually makes more sense to me than the Hebrew reading. "They ceased arguing because he was rightous in his own eyes?"
That's no reason to cease arguing. That's when the real arguing begins! Job had started out defending himself in chapter 3; this is chapter 32. If his self justification was their reason for not arguing, they would have given up long before that, it seems to me. However, if Job had convinced them that he was not wicked, but indeed, a righteous man, then it stands to reason they would have quit attacking him. Notice too that Elihu becomes angry with Job's friends for backing off of Job's case after this.
Just my opinion. Maybe the Hebrew is correct.
