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 these things to a person two or even three times
30 so he won't die as punishment for his sins and so he may still enjoy life.
31 "Job, pay attention and listen to me; be quiet, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, because I want to prove you right.
33 But if you have nothing to say, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom."
