Gill's Notes on the Bible

Mark well, O Job,.... Consider and weigh well what has been said; or rather attend to what is further to be said:

hearken unto me; to what he was about to say; for he was full of matter, and had not yet vented all he had to utter:

hold thy peace, and I will speak; be silent and do not interrupt, and I will go on with my discourse.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me ... - Elihu designs to intimate that he had much more to say which demanded close attention. He begged, therefore, that Job would hear him patiently through.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 33:31. Mark well, O Job — Pay the deepest attention to what I have said, and to what I shall say.
