Job 42:8-10

8 Así que, tomen siete toros y siete carneros, vayan a mi siervo Job y ofrezcan una ofrenda quemada por ustedes mismos. Mi siervo Job orará, y yo aceptaré la oración a favor de ustedes. No los trataré como se merecen, a pesar de no haber hablado de mí con exactitud, como lo hizo mi siervo Job».

9 Así que Elifaz el temanita, Bildad el suhita y Zofar el naamatita, hicieron lo que el Señor
les mandó, y el Señor
aceptó la oración de Job.

10 Cuando Job oró por sus amigos, el Señor
le restauró su bienestar. Es más, ¡el Señor
le dio el doble de lo que antes tenía!

Job 42:8-10 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.
