Jó 42:7-9

7 Sucedeu pois que, acabando o Senhor de dizer a Jó aquelas palavras, o Senhor disse a Elifaz, o temanita: A minha ira se acendeu contra ti e contra os teus dois amigos, porque não tendes falado de mim o que era reto, como o meu servo Jó.

8 Tomai, pois, sete novilhos e sete carneiros, e ide ao meu servo Jó, e oferecei um holocausto por vós; e o meu servo Jó orará por vós; porque deveras a ele aceitarei, para que eu não vos trate conforme a vossa estultícia; porque vós não tendes falado de mim o que era reto, como o meu servo Jó.

9 Então foram Elifaz o temanita, e Bildade o suíta, e Zofar o naamatita, e fizeram como o Senhor lhes ordenara; e o Senhor aceitou a Jó.

Jó 42:7-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 42

This chapter contains Job's answer to the last speech of the Lord's, in which he acknowledges his omnipotence, and his certain performance of his purposes and pleasure; owns his own folly and ignorance, and confesses his sins; for which he abhorred himself, and of which he repented, Job 42:1-6; it also gives an account of the Lord's decision of the controversy between Job and his friends, blaming them and commending him above them; and ordered them to take sacrifices and go to Job and offer them, who should pray for them and be accepted, which was done, Job 42:7-9; and it closes with a relation of the great prosperity Job was restored unto, in which he lived and died, Job 42:10-17.
