Job 33:31

31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me. Be quiet, and I will speak.

Job 33:31 Meaning and Commentary

Job 33:31

Mark well, O Job
Consider and weigh well what has been said; or rather attend to what is further to be said:

hearken unto me;
to what he was about to say; for he was full of matter, and had not yet vented all he had to utter:

hold thy peace, and I will speak;
be silent and do not interrupt, and I will go on with my discourse.

Job 33:31 In-Context

29 God certainly does all these things two or three times to a man
30 in order to turn him back from the Pit, so he may shine with the light of life.
31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me. Be quiet, and I will speak.
32 But if you have something to say, answer me; speak, for I would like to justify you.
33 If not, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.
