What the Fathers say

Job 32:10

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Because although he was not aged, he nevertheless was confident that he was inspired by God. Therefore, he dared to speak, and so he says, "Therefore, I will speak." In his speech, he first induces them to listen on the authority of God, by whose inspiration he was speaking, and so he says, "Listen to me," so that they would not interrupt his discourse. To those listening he promises dogmas of science, and so he then says, "and I will show you, even I," although I am young, "my learning," from which I will answer the arguments of Job.
