Job 33:8 Meaning and Commentary

Job 33:8

Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing
After the above preface, Elihu proceeds to the point in hand, and enters a charge against Job; which he took up, not upon suspicion and surmisings, nor upon report, nor upon accusations received from others, but what he had heard with his own ears, unless he was greatly mistaken indeed, which he thought he was not:

and I have heard the voice of [thy] words;
the sound of them, clearly and distinctly, and took in the sense of them, as he really believed:

[saying];
as follows.

Job 33:8 In-Context

6 Thou art formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same .

7 My fear shall not terrify thee, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

8 But thou hast said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of thy words;) because thou sayest, I am pure, not having sinned;

9 I am blameless, for I have not transgressed.

10 Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary.
