Elihu Contradicts Job

1 “But please, Job, hear my speech,
And listen to all my words.

2 Now, I open my mouth;
My tongue speaks in my mouth.

3 My words come from my upright heart;
My lips utter pure knowledge.

4 ^aThe Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

5 If you can answer me,
Set your words in order before me;
Take your stand.

Barnes' Notes

<< Job 32:22

Job 33:2 >>

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee - In the next chapter he addresses the three friends of Job. This is addressed particularly to him.

My speeches - Hebrew, "my words" - millâh . This is the usual word in the Aramaen languages to express a saying or discourse, though in Hebrew it is only a poetic form. The meaning is, not that he would address separate speeches, or distinct discourses, to Job, but that he called on him to attend to what he had to say.
