What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Wherefore, Job, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak in my throat. But in the midst of these sentences which he utters, based on solid truth, he again bursts out into words of pride, saying, Wherefore, Job, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak in my throat. …
Thomas Aquinas
The text has said already that Eliud was angry against Job and his friends (32:2-3). After he has denounced the laziness of the friends of Job, now he begins to speak against Job himself, and therefore, he first gets his attention saying, "Hear, then, Job, my words," because I now intend to answer you. He shows that he will weigh each word very carefully saying, "and listen to my speeches," for he will not say anything in vain.
