31 Sois attentif, Job, écoute-moi! Tais-toi, et je parlerai.

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 Voilà ce que Dieu fait deux, trois fois, envers l'homme,
30 Pour ramener son âme de la fosse, pour qu'elle soit éclairée de la lumière des vivants.
31 Sois attentif, Job, écoute-moi! Tais-toi, et je parlerai.
32 Si tu as quelque chose à dire, réponds-moi; parle, car je désire te justifier.
33 Sinon, écoute-moi; tais-toi, et je t'enseignerai la sagesse.
