What is the meaning of "Katar Li Ze'eir va'Achaveka"?
Rashi: All this is Arame'ic. Heed me a little, and I will tell you. The Targum of "ul'Soraso Iyim Yeyacheilu" is Yechatrun.
Ibn Ezra #1: Most explain 'wait for me a little', like "Kiteru Es Binyamin."
Ibn Ezra #2: Perhaps it is surrounding. Also Atarah is a crown, and "Oterim Es David" is surrounding. Also "Machtir Es ha'Tzadik" and "Bi Yachtiru Tzadikim." [Surround me, and] show to me a little honor.
Was Hashem speaking to them?
Rashi: Le'Eloka refers to those who speak in place of Him.
Malbim: Until now, he spoke like in a debate. Now he stated the real reason for all these afflictions, which we already knew from the beginning of the Sefer - a test. A test shows all the perfection in the Nefesh, and takes from potential to deed. Sometimes man stands in the test of wealth, but not of poverty. As long as he receives good and Chesed from Hashem, he stands in his virtue, serves Him and loves Him, but if the staff of Musar and poverty touch him, he rebels and casts off the yoke. Hashem tests and refines him via poverty to know what is in his heart, like He tested Avraham via being a stranger, dislocation and the Akeidah. If he stands in the test, he is at a great level - Hashem's lovers and Mal'achim who go in front of Him. He did not know so via investigation, rather, "Sod Hashem li'Yre'av" - Hashem put truths in man's Nefesh. Now Elihu says what Hashem put in his heart - "Ani ch'Ficha la'Kel" (33:6).
