Lest Elihu should be interpreted to have taken too much upon him, or to have denied Job his liberty of speaking, when he ⟨p. 482⟩said, hold thy peace; he here calls him to speak; This is a full proof, that his intent was not to bar him from speaking, but only that he should forbear unnecessary speaking. As if he had said, Now that I have gone thus far, if I have spoken any thing that thou at unsatisfied in, and dost desire I should explain my self about; speak thy mind freely; for though I have more to say, yet I will not hinder thee from saying what thou canst fairly say for thy self, neither will I ever-burden thy memory, with too much at once, therefore come now and answer if thou wilt or canst to what is already spoken.

The Hebrew is, If thou hast words answer me, that is, if thou hast arguments to defend thy self with, or to oppose me; if thou hast such words ready, as have the weight of reason or authority in them to maintain thy cause, bring them forth, I am not afraid of what thou canst object; neither am I unwilling to hear thy defence.
