Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 42:4

4. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak : I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

Hear and accept my humble and penitent confession and recantation.

Or, and enquire, to wit, counsel or instruction as a Scholar doth of his Master, as the following words note. I will no more saweily dispute the matter with thee, but beg information from thee. The words which God had uttered to Iob by way of challenge, Ch. 38. 3. & 40. 7. Iob returns to him again in way of submission.
