Job 42:2

you think but that you can bring it to pass.
Job 42:3
42:3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without {b} knowledge?

wonderful for me, {c} which I knew not.
(b) Is there any but I? for this God laid to his charge,
Job 38:2.
(c) I confess in this my ignorance, and that I spoke of
what I did not know.

myself over to you.
Job 42:7
42:7 And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words
unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath
is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for
ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] {f} right, as
my servant {g} Job [hath].
(f) You took in hand an evil cause, in that you condemned
him by his outward afflictions, and not comforted him
with my mercies.
(g) Who had a good cause, but handled it evil.
Job 42:8
42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams,
and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a
burnt offering; and my servant Job shall {h} pray for you:
for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your]
folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which
is] right, like my servant Job.
(h) When you have reconciled yourselves to him for the
faults that you have committed against him, he will
pray for you, and I will hear him.

LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece
of money, and every one an earring of gold.
(k) That is, all his kindred, read Job 19:13.
Job 42:12
42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his
beginning: for he had {l} fourteen thousand sheep, and six

thousand she asses.

and gave him as many children as he had taken from
him.
