Job 33:32

32 But if you have anything to say, go ahead. Speak, for I am anxious to see you justified.

Job 33:32 Meaning and Commentary

Job 33:32

If thou hast anything to say, answer me
Any thing to object to what he had delivered, or any answer to return to what he had charged him with:

speak, for I desire to justify thee.
Elihu was a fair antagonist, and gave free liberty, time and space, to make whatsoever reply he thought fit, and which he should patiently and attentively hear: his view was not victory, but that truth might come out, and take place and prevail, having nothing more at heart than Job's good; and could wish it would appear that he was in all respects a just man, and even in that in which he thought he was not just; but could he fairly acquit himself it would be a pleasure to him.

Job 33:32 In-Context

30 He rescues them from the grave so they may enjoy the light of life.
31 Mark this well, Job. Listen to me, for I have more to say.
32 But if you have anything to say, go ahead. Speak, for I am anxious to see you justified.
33 But if not, then listen to me. Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom!”
