Job 42:7-9

Epílogo

7 Después de haberle dicho todo esto a Job, el SEÑOR se dirigió a Elifaz de Temán y le dijo: «Estoy muy irritado contigo y con tus dos amigos porque, a diferencia de mi siervo Job, lo que ustedes han dicho de mí no es verdad.

8 Tomen ahora siete toros y siete carneros, y vayan con mi siervo Job y ofrezcan un holocausto por ustedes mismos. Mi siervo Job orará por ustedes, y yo atenderé a su oración y no los haré quedar en vergüenza. Y conste que, a diferencia de mi siervo Job, lo que ustedes han dicho de mí no es verdad».

9 Elifaz de Temán, Bildad de Súah y Zofar de Namat fueron y cumplieron con lo que el SEÑOR les había ordenado, y el SEÑOR atendió a la oración de Job.

Job 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.
