Exegesis
The adverb laat {לָאַט | lāʾaṭ} ‘gently’ modifies “word,” describing the manner of speech; in context it can be heard as “softly” (and by extension, possibly “in a subdued/secret manner”), so the translation keeps the manner-of-speaking sense while recognizing the narrower “secret” reading as a contextual option.
Root and etymology
consonantsLamed–Aleph–Tet
“gently, softly”
In context — Job 15:11
Is it too little from you, the consolations of God , and a word spoken softly with you?
