Jó 42:1-6

Jó

1 Então Jó respondeu ao SENHOR:

2 “Sei que podes fazer todas as coisas;nenhum dos teus planos pode ser frustrado.

3 Tu perguntaste: ‘Quem é esse que obscurece o meu conselho sem conhecimento?’Certo é que falei de coisas que eu não entendia,coisas tão maravilhosas que eu não poderia saber.

4 “Tu disseste: ‘Agora escute, e eu falarei;vou fazer perguntas,e você me responderá’.

5 Meus ouvidos já tinham ouvido a teu respeito,mas agora os meus olhos te viram.

6 Por isso menosprezo a mim mesmoe me arrependo no pó e na cinza”.

Jó 42:1-6 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.
