But now, Job, please hear my speech, and give ear to all my words, opening Elihu's address to Job directly, using polite language (please) to establish respectful tone despite his anger. The request for hearing and attention suggests that Elihu believes his words merit careful consideration. The emphasis on all my words suggests comprehensive address. The verse establishes Elihu's attempt to address Job respectfully despite his critical position.
