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 does to a man, two or even three times,

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

31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.

32 But if you have something to say, answer me; speak up, for I would like to vindicate you.

33 But if not, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.”
