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 "This is the way God works. Over and over again
30 He pulls our souls back from certain destruction so we'll see the light - and live in the light!
31 "Keep listening, Job. Don't interrupt - I'm not finished yet.
32 But if you think of anything I should know, tell me. There's nothing I'd like better than to see your name cleared.
33 Meanwhile, keep listening. Don't distract me with interruptions. I'm going to teach you the basics of wisdom."
