Contextual Overview

13 Holde your tongues for my sake, that I also may speake, and my sorowe shalbe the lesse. 14 Wherefore do I beare my fleshe in my teeth, and put my soule in myne handes? 15 Lo, though he slay me, yet wyl I trust in him: but I wyll reproue myne owne wayes in his sight. 16 He shalbe my saluation: for there may no hypocrite come before him. 17 Heare diligently my wordes, and ponder my sayinges with your eares. 18 Beholde, now haue I prepared my iudgement, and knowe that I shalbe founde righteous. 19 What is he that wyll go to lawe with me? if I now holde my tongue I dye. 20 Neuerthelesse, graunt me two thinges, and then wyll I not hide my selfe from thee: 21 Withdrawe thyne hande from me, and let not the fearefull dreade of thee make me afrayde. 22 Then call, and I wyll aunswere: or let me speake, and geue me then an aunswere.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hear diligently my speech,.... Or, "in hearing hear" s; meaning, not only that his friends would attentively hear him, but continue to hear him; that they would hear him out what he had to say further: upon his expressing himself with so much faith and confidence in God, they might rise up from their seats and be preparing to be gone, as not having patience to hear a man talk so confidently, who they thought was a bad man and an hypocrite; or they might attempt to interrupt him while speaking, and therefore he desires they would be still, and patiently and diligently hear what he had more to say:

and my declaration with your ears; that is, that they would listen to it attentively, when he doubted not but he should make his case as clear as the sun, and set it in such a point of view, as that it would appear most plainly to be right, and he to be a just man.

s שמעו שמוע "audite audiendo", Pagninus, Montanus, Beza, &c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hear diligently my speech - That which I have made; that is, the declaration which I have made of my innocence. He refers to his solemn declaration, Job 13:15-16 that he had unwavering confidence in God, and that even should God slay him he would put confidence in him. This solemn appeal he wished them to attend to as one of the utmost importance.
