Job 29:21 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Unto me men gave ear - Job here returns to the time when he sat in the assembly of counsellors, and to the respectful attention which was paid to all that he said. They listened when he spoke; they waited for him to speak before they gave their opinion; and they were then silent. They neither interrupted him nor attempted a reply.

Job 29:21

21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
