And Job again took up his discourse, and said: see comments on 27.1. Good News Translation says “Job began speaking again,” which it did not say in 27.1 because 27.1 was the continuation of Job’s speech begun in chapter 26. The word translated again seems to reinforce the idea that another speech or poem (chapter 28) has interrupted the speech of Job begun in chapter 26.
