Job Chapter 42

Job 42:2
42:2 I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no {a}
     thought can be withholden from thee.

     (a) No thought so secret but you see it, nor anything that
         you think but that you can bring it to pass.

Job 42:3
42:3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without {b} knowledge?
     therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too
     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.

Job 42:4
42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of
     thee, {d} and declare thou unto me.

     (d) He shows that he will be God's scholar to learn of him.

Job 42:5
42:5 I have {e} heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now
     mine eye seeth thee.

     (e) I knew you only before by hearsay, but now you have
         caused me to feel what you are to me, that I may resign
         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.

Job 42:10
42:10 And the LORD turned the {i} captivity of Job, when he
      prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as
      much as he had before.

      (i) He delivered him out of the affliction he was in.

Job 42:11
42:11 Then came there unto him all his {k} brethren, and all his
      sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance
      before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they
      bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the
      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 camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a
      thousand she asses.

      (l) God made him twice as rich in cattle as he was before,
          and gave him as many children as he had taken from
          him.

Job 42:14
42:14 And he called the name of the first, {m} Jemima; and the
      name of the second, {n} Kezia; and the name of the third,
      {o} Kerenhappuch.

      (m) That is, of long life, or beautiful as the day.
      (n) As pleasant as cassia or sweet spice.
      (o) That is, the horn of beauty.
