Albert Barnes Commentary Job 3:2

"And Job answered and said:" — Job 3:2 (ASV)

And Job spoke - Margin, as in Hebrew, “answered.” The Hebrew word used here ענה (‛ ânâh), “to answer,” is often used when one begins to speak, even though no question preceded it. It is somewhat in the sense of replying to a subject, or of speaking in a case where a question might appropriately be asked;Isaiah 14:0 (Hebrew); Zechariah 3:4; Deuteronomy 26:5 (Hebrew); Deuteronomy 27:14 (Hebrew). The Greek word for “to answer,” ἀποκρίνομαι (apokrinomai), is frequently used in this way in the New Testament; Matthew 17:4; Matthew 17:17; Matthew 28:5; Mark 9:5; Mark 10:51; and elsewhere.
