Job 33:2 - Exposition

Behold, now I have opened my mouth . (On the solemnity of the phrase, "opened my mouth," see the comment upon Job 3:1 .) My tongue hath spoken in my mouth ; literally, in my palate (comp. Job 6:30 ). Each word has been, as it were, tasted; that is, seriously considered and examined beforehand. My remarks will not be crude, extempore remarks; so may they be the better worth attending to.
