Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 42:7

And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job - Had the matter been left according to the record in Job 42:6, a wholly erroneous impression would have been made. Job was overwhelmed with the conviction of his guilt, and had nothing been said to his friends, the impression would have been that he was wholly in the wrong. It was important, therefore, and was indeed essential to the plan of the book, that the divine judgment should be pronounced on the conduct of his three... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 42:7

Job 42:7. After the Lord had spoken these words unto Job Jehovah, having confounded all the false reasonings of Job, and sufficiently humbled his pride, now proceeds to the condemnation of the principle upon which his three friends had proceeded in all their speeches, which principle he declares not to be right. The Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite God addresses him, because he was the eldest of the three, had spoken first, and by his example had led the rest into the same mistake which... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 42:7-17

God exalts Job (42:7-17)The three friends, in spite of the truths mixed in with their speeches, are now declared wrong. Job, in spite of his rash speech and irreverent protest, is now declared right. In accusing Job of great sin, the three friends had not spoken the truth, whereas Job, in claiming to be upright and not guilty of great sin, is now proved to be truthful. The friends’ theory that suffering is always the result of personal sin is proved wrong, whereas Job’s desire for a just God is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 42:7

THE EPILOGUE"And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath."What a shock such a declaration from God himself, speaking out of the whirlwind, must have been to Job's three friends. That God completely ignored both Satan and Elihu is significant. That omission of any reference whatever to either Satan... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 42:7

Job 42:7. For ye have not spoken of me, &c.— Mr. Peters has proved, beyond contradiction, that this is properly translated, ye have not spoken of me that which is right. See also Job 42:8 in which there is a repetition of the same declaration in express terms by God himself, that Eliphaz and his companions had not spoken of him the thing which was right, and that Job had. Now, it will be difficult to find any thing in their speeches which should make the difference here supposed, if we set... read more

7. to Eliphaz—because he was the foremost of the three friends; their speeches were but the echo of his. right—literally, "well-grounded," sure and true. Their spirit towards Job was unkindly, and to justify themselves in their unkindliness they used false arguments (Job 13:7); (namely, that calamities always prove peculiar guilt); therefore, though it was "for God" they spake thus falsely, God "reproves" them, as Job said He would (Job 13:7- :). as . . . Job hath—Job had spoken rightly in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 42:7-9

A. Job’s Friends 42:7-9God addressed Eliphaz but also had Bildad and Zophar in view. He evidently excluded Elihu because he had not misrepresented God as the other three friends had. Their error was limiting God’s sovereignty. By asserting that God always punishes the wicked and rewards the righteous in this life, they were limiting God and committing a sin that required a sacrifice for atonement (covering). Modern prosperity theology advocates should take note!Job evidently forgave his friends... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 42:7-17

III. EPILOGUE 42:7-17The book closes as it opened, with a prose explanation by the inspired human writer. He gave us important information about Job’s friends (Job 42:7-9) and then Job’s fortunes (Job 42:10-17).". . . Satan and Job’s wife (who are prominent in the prologue as agents of evil who try to get Job to curse God) are intentionally omitted in the epilogue. This deliberate omission emphasizes a major teaching of the book, namely, that man’s relationship to God is not a ’give-and-get’... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:7-17

The Epilogue7-17. These vv. describe the happy ending to Job’s trials and his restoration to prosperity. It is a sequel in full accord with the religious ideas of the Hebrews. With no clear idea of a future state, where compensation will be found for the ills of this world, long life and earthly happiness were regarded as the only evidence of God’s favour and approval. The feeling that the happy ending spoils the effect is modern, but incorrect. For it would have made a very bad impression on... read more
