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 Look, God does all these [things] twice, three times with a person

30 to bring his life back from [the] pit {so that he may enjoy the light of life}.

31 "Listen attentively, Job; listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.

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

33 If not, you listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."
