Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moreover, Job continued his parable,.... Or "added to take [it] up" q, that is, he took it up again, and went on with his discourse; he made a pause for awhile, waiting to observe whether any of his three friends would return an answer to what he had said; but perceiving they were not inclined to make any reply, he began again, and gave an account of his former life, in order to show that he was far from being the wicked man, or being so accounted by others, as his friends had represented him:
and said; as follows.
q ויוסף שאת "addidit assumere", Montanus, Bolducius, Mercerus; "addidit tollere", Drusius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Moreover, Job continued his parable - See the notes at Job 27:1. It is probable that Job had paused to see if anyone would attempt a reply. As his friends were silent, he resumed his remarks and went into a more full statement of his sufferings. The fact that Job more than once paused in his addresses to give his friends an opportunity to speak, and that they were silent when they seemed called upon to vindicate their former sentiments, was what particularly roused the wrath of Elihu and induced him to answer; Job 32:2-5.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXIX
Job laments his present condition, and gives an affecting
account of his former prosperity, having property in
abundance, being surrounded by a numerous family, and enjoying

Speaks of the respect he had from the young, 7, 8;
and from the nobles, 9, 10.
Details his conduct as a magistrate and judge in supporting
the poor, and repressing the wicked, 11-17;
his confidence, general prosperity, and respect, 18-25.
