Job 33:1 - Exposition

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches ; rather, howbeit , Job , I pray thee , hear my speech (see the Revised Version); i.e. "However you regard me personally, hear what I have to say." And hearken to all my words. Give me your full attention; do not suffer aught that I say to escape you. Elihu has a deep conviction of the importance of what he is about to utter (comp. Job 32:8 , Job 32:10 , Job 32:17 ).
