In this verse Elihu calls for a two-fold attention; First, to those things he had already spoken. Secondly, to those things which he was yet to speak. What he had already spoken, he desireth him to consider and make reply if he pleased, as is clear (v. 32.) and as to what he had yet further to say, he desireth his attention and submission, as it followeth (v. 33.) If not hearken unto me, hold thy peace.

Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me.
1Here are two words of attention, mark, and hearken, and both very significant ones. The word rendered mark, signifieth to attend, ⟨p. 475⟩with utmost diligence; it it sometimes rendered by hearkening (Isa: 32.3.) The eyes of them that see shall not be dim: and the ears of them that hear shall hearken; that is, they who heretofore, through the just judgement of God for their wilful shutting their eyes and ears, in seeing did see but not perceive, and in hearing did hear but not understand (Isa: 6.10.29.10. compared with Math: 13.14.) shall at last see clearly and attend diligently to the will of God delivered to them; yea it seems to note some special gesture, as the lifting up of the ear to hear. For as there is a lifting up of the voice in the zealous speaker, so of the ear in the diligent hearer. To mark is to hear and observe, to hear and lay to heart the things which are spoken, Mark well, O Job, and hearken.
