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, all these things God worketh three times within every one.

30 That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.

31 Attend, Job, and hearken to me, and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.

32 But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would have thee to appear just.

33 And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
