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

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'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

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

Gave his daughters a share, and possibly an equal share, with his sons in his inheritance; which in so plentiful an estate he might easily do, especially to such amiable sisters, without the envy of their brethren; and which peradventure he did to oblige them to settle themselves amongst their brethren, and to marry into their own religious kindred, not to strangers, who in those times were generally swallowed up in the gulf of idolatry. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 42:1-17

NotesJob 42:11. “A piece of money.” According to Gesenius and others, קשׂיִטָה (kesitah), from the unused root קָשַׂט = قَسَطٰ (kasata) to “be just or true;” whence قسْط (Kistoon) “balances;” a certain weight of money, equal to about four shekels (Genesis 42:35; Genesis 33:19, compared with Job 23:16). According to SCHULTENS, a stater, or lump of gold exactly weighed. SEPTUAGINT: “A lamb.” So ABULWALID and ABEN EZRA. VULGATE: “A sheep.” So SYRIAC, ARABIC, and COVERDALE. LUTHER: “A flne... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 42:1-17

Chapter 42Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that you can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from thee ( Job 42:1-2 ).Pretty important: "I know God can do everything." Secondly, "I know that you can't hide a single thought from God."The Bible says concerning Jesus that He didn't need anyone to come and tell Him of other people because He knew man and He knew what was in man. You can't hide any thoughts from God. The Bible tells us that some day our very thoughts are to... read more

Job 42:5 . But now mine eye seeth thee. I have seen thee in thy works, and heard the voice of nature. I have heard all those speeches of my friends, circumscribed in knowledge, and erroneous in judgment; but now the clouds depart; now the sun at length shines. Now, I see thy righteousness in dealing thus with a worm, to make my case alike instructive to angels and to men. Assuredly, thou hast a right to resume thy gifts, according to thy good pleasure, and to take from man his mortal... read more
