Job 33:31

31 Now, Job, listen to what I am saying; be quiet and let me speak.

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 God does all this again and again;
30 each one saves a person's life, and gives him the joy of living.
31 Now, Job, listen to what I am saying; be quiet and let me speak.
32 But if you have something to say, let me hear it; I would gladly admit you are in the right.
33 But if not, be quiet and listen to me, and I will teach you how to be wise.
