What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Hearken unto these things, O Job, stand, and consider the wondrous works of God. He saw him to be lying down, as it were, in comparison with himself, whom he directed to stand at the words of so great preaching. Although even by this word, 'Listen' which he uses, he inflicts a grievous insult upon Job: because, as we have already said of him also before, it is arrogance for an inferior, to wish to extort for himself a hearing from his superior. …
Thomas Aquinas
After Eliud told the many marvels of divine works he now attacks Job who seemed to accuse God of injustice when he could not yet understand his works, and so he says, "For listen, Job," to what I am saying about the grandeur of divine works. "Stand" in rectitude of mind, "and consider," by your own self, "the wonderful things of God," which are shown in his works.
