33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
33 But if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."
33 If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."
33 Meanwhile, keep listening. Don't distract me with interruptions. I'm going to teach you the basics of wisdom."
33 If not, listen to me; Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom."
33 But if not, then listen to me. Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 33:33
Commentary on Job 33:29-33
(Read Job 33:29-33)
Elihu shows that God's great and gracious design toward the children of men, is, to save them from being for ever miserable, and to bring them to be for ever happy. By whatever means we are kept back from the we shall bless the Lord for them at least, and should bless him for them though they be painful and distressing. Those that perish for ever are without excuse, for they would not be healed.
