Job 42:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 42:1

Then Job answered the Lord, and said.
] For though he had said he would answer no more, ( Job 40:5 ) ; yet he might mean not in the manner he had, complaining of God and justifying himself; besides he might change his mind without any imputation of falsehood or a lie; see ( Jeremiah 20:9 ) ; to which may be added, that he had then said all he had to say, and did not know he should have more: he then confessed as much as he was convinced of, but it was not enough; and now through what the Lord had since said to him he was more convinced of his ignorance, mistakes, and sins, and had such a sight of God and of himself, that he could not forbear speaking; moreover an injunction was laid upon him from the Lord to speak again, and therefore he was obliged to give in his answer; see ( Job 40:7 ) .

Job 42:1 In-Context

1 Job respondió entonces al SEÑOR. Le dijo:

2 «Yo sé bien que tú lo puedes todo,que no es posible frustrar ninguno de tus planes.

3 “¿Quién es este —has preguntado—,que sin conocimiento oscurece mi consejo?”Reconozco que he hablado de cosasque no alcanzo a comprender,de cosas demasiado maravillosasque me son desconocidas.

4 »“Dijiste: “Ahora escúchame, yo voy a hablar;yo te cuestionaré, y tú me responderás”.

5 De oídas había oído hablar de ti,pero ahora te veo con mis propios ojos.
