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 "Behold, God works all these things, Twice, in fact, three times with a man,

30 To bring back his soul from the Pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of life.

31 "Give ear, Job, listen to me; Hold your peace, and I will speak.

32 If you have anything to say, answer me; Speak, for I desire to justify you.

33 If not, listen to me; Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom."
