Contextual Overview

1 Wherefore heare my wordes O Iob, and hearken vnto all that I will say: 2 Behold, I haue now opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my throte. 3 My heart doth order my wordes aright, and my lippes talke of pure wysedome. 4 The spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the almightie hath geuen me my lyfe. 5 If thou canst then geue me aunswere, prepare thy selfe and stande before me face to face. 6 Beholde, before God I am euen as thou: for I am fashioned & made euen of the same molde. 7 Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall my hande be heauy vpon thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If thou canst answer me,.... That is, when he had done speaking, after he had heard him out; if he thought he could make a reply to him, he gave him full liberty so to do, and tacitly suggests that he should give him an attentive and candid hearing, as he had requested of him:

set [thy words] in order before me; put them into the best form and order thou canst for thy self-defence, and level them at me; set them, as it were, in battle array against me; give them all the poignancy, strength, and three thou art capable of:

stand up; not out of veneration to him, but to denote freedom and boldness in himself; a presentation of himself with boldness, and standing and keeping his ground: the expressions are military; Mr. Broughton renders it, "stand to it".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

If thou canst answer me - The meaning of this verse is this: “The controversy between you and me, if you choose to reply, shall be conducted in the most equitable manner, and on the most equal terms. I will not attempt, as your three friends have done, to overwhelm you with reproaches; nor will I attempt to overawe you as God would do, so that you could not reply. I am a man like yourself, and desire that if anything can be said against what I have to advance, it should be offered with the utmost fairness and freedom.”

Stand up - That is, “maintain your position, unless you are convinced by my arguments. I wish to carry nothing by mere authority or power.”
