Exegesis
The verse opens with a direct command, shim'u {שִׁמְע֣וּ | šimʿû} ‘hear’, immediately reinforced by the infinitive absolute shamoa {שָׁ֭מוֹעַ | šāmôaʿ} ‘hear intensely’, a standard Hebrew intensification that heightens urgency.
In context — Job 13:17
Hear, indeed hear, my word , and my declaration , in your ears.
