约伯记 42:13 CUVS

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:1-17

JOBS REPENTANCE AND PRAYER (vv.1-9) Who would not be totally subdued after hearing God speak such things as He did to Job? What a change took place in Job's attitude and in his words! He was humbled to the dust, as he says, "I know You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked, Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know" (vv.2-3). He now... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 42:7-17

The Exaltation and Death of Job Job 42:7-17 How God rebukes the wisdom of the wise! How God humiliates the very men who supposed that they were defending and glorifying him! How even Christian ministers may misrepresent God! We may be talking about religion without being religious. These are the thoughts which are excited by the circumstance that when all the comforters had exhausted their accusatory eloquence they had neither comforted Job nor pleased God. It is right The tone that is to... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 42:13-15

(13) He had also seven sons and three daughters. (14) And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. (15) And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. It is remarkable that Job should have a second family of children, and the same in number and in sex as he had before. But this was GOD'S grace and love. The names of his daughters are... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:10-17

10-17 In the beginning of this book we had Job's patience under his troubles, for an example; here, for our encouragement to follow that example, we have his happy end. His troubles began in Satan's malice, which God restrained; his restoration began in God's mercy, which Satan could not oppose. Mercy did not return when Job was disputing with his friends, but when he was praying for them. God is served and pleased with our warm devotions, not with our warm disputes. God doubled Job's... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 42:7-17

Job Vindicated and Restored to Prosperity v. 7. And it was so that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, after Job had made his penitent reply, the Lord said unto Eliphaz, the Temanite, as the spokesman and leader of the three friends, My wrath is kindled against thee and against thy two friends, Bildad and Zophar; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right as My servant Job hath, they had persisted in their endeavor to brand Job as an enormous sinner, guilty of gross... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Job 42:7-17

HISTORICAL CONCLUSIONJob 42:7-171. Glorious vindication of Job before his friends: Job 42:7-107And it was so, that, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord saidto 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. 8Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 42:1-17

Restored to Right Relations with God Job 42:1-17 In complete surrender Job bowed before God, confessing his ignorance and owning that he had spoken glibly of things which he understood not. He had retorted to his friends that he was as good as they, but now he confessed, as did the Apostle after him, that he was of sinners the chief. It is one thing to hear of God, another to see and know Him close at hand. Well may we loathe our proud words and repent in dust and ashes, Job 42:6 , r.v.,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 42:1-17

Job's answer is full of the stateliness of a great submission. As he speaks the words of surrender he appears mightier in his submission than all the things into the presence of which he has been brought. In his confession of the sufficiency of God, of the folly of his own past speech, of his present repentance in the light of God's glory, there is revealed a glory of God not manifest in any other part of the universe described. This surrender is God's victory of vindication. There has been no... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Job 42:1-17

God Speaks to Job Job 38:1-41 to Job 42:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS God's words to Job do not carry much by way of the explanation of redemption. Job was a child of God, and well-instructed on those lines. When, however, God refers to Job's three friends, who had not spoken of God, as they should have spoken, then the Lord commands, at once, that a burnt offering of seven bullocks, and of seven rams should be made. In the first chapter of job we learn how Job, continually, offered up burnt... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:1-17

Job 42:1-Joshua : . Job’ s final speech (continuation of Job 40:3-Deuteronomy :). Job 42:1 is to be removed as a gloss: as are also Job 42:3 a, Job 42:4 b, which are quoted from Job 38:2 f., and probably came in from the margin. Job abases himself before the Almightiness of God as displayed in the creation, and acknowledges that he has spoken ignorantly. Job 42:5 contains “ the supreme lesson of the book” (Peake). No new theoretical knowledge concerning God and His ways has been given to Job,... read more
