"Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words." — Job 33:1 (ASV)
Therefore, Job, I ask you— In the next chapter, he addresses the three friends of Job. This is addressed particularly to him.
My speeches— Hebrew, “my words”—מלה millâh. This is the usual word in the Aramaic languages to express a saying or discourse, though in Hebrew it is only a poetic form. The meaning is not that he would address separate speeches, or distinct discourses, to Job, but that he called on him to attend to what he had to say.
