Contextual Overview

¹⁶ If thou nowe haue vnderstanding, heare what I say, and hearken to the voyce of my wordes: ¹⁷ May he be a ruler that loueth not right? or may he that is a very innocent man do vngodly? ¹⁸ Is it reason that thou shouldest say to the king, Thou art wicked, or thou art vngodly, and that before the princes? ¹⁹ God hath no respect vnto the persons of the lordly, and regardeth not the riche more then the poore: for they be al the worke of his handes. ²⁰ In the twinckling of an eye shall they dye, and at midnight when the people and the tirantes rage, then shall they perishe, & be taken away without handes. ²¹ For his eyes loke vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goinges. ²² There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death that can hide the wicked doers from him. ²³ For God wil not lay vpon man more then he hath sinned, that he should enter into iudgement with him. ²⁴ He shall destroy the mightie without seeking, and shall set other in their steede. ²⁵ Therefore shall he declare their workes: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this,.... Not as calling his understanding in question, as if he, had none; for Job was a very understanding man; he had not lost his natural understanding by his afflictions, see Job 6:13; nor was he without an understanding of divine things, as his speeches and answers show; but rather it is taken for granted that he was a man of understanding: "if" or "seeing" thou hast understanding, art a man of knowledge and intelligence, therefore hearken and attend to what has been said or about to be said; though, as some Jewish interpreters a observe, the word is not a noun, but a verb, and is imperative, "understand thou now, hear this"; and then the sense is, "if" things are so as before related, Job 34:13; then now understand this, take it into thy heart and mind, and well weigh and consider it:

hearken to the voice of my words; either the preceding or following ones.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

If now thou hast understanding hear this - This appears to be addressed to Job. The discourse before this had been directed to his three friends, but Elihu appears here to have turned to Job, and to have made a solemn appeal to him, whether this were not so. In the subsequent verses he remonstrates with him about his views, and shows him that what he had said implied severe reflections on the character and government of God.
