What the Fathers say

Job 33:5

Western Saints

Gregory the Dialogist

If thou canst, answer me, and stand before my face. Behold how in relating the true order of his creation, he suddenly bursts forth into the pride of haughty arrogance, and, in other words, repeats the same statement.

Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXIII ↗

Thomas Aquinas

Lest he seem to have said this as a prejudice to discourage Job from answering one speaking from divine inspiration he says, "If you can, answer me," what I will say against you, "and hold your ground before my face," so that you also can raise objection against me if I say anything which displeases you.
