The verse "Then Job answered," from Job 6:1 simply means that after a previous speaker (in this case, likely one of Job's friends) had finished speaking, Job began his reply. It's a transitional phrase used to indicate a change in speaker in a dialogue. In the context of the Book of Job, it signals that Job is about to respond to the arguments and perspectives presented by his friends regarding his suffering and supposed wrongdoing. It sets the stage for Job's own words and his own defense against their accusations.
