Contextual Overview

¹And Job answers YHWH and says:²"You have known that [for] all things You are able, || And no purpose is withheld from You. ³[You said], Who [is] this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared, and do not understand, || Too wonderful for me, and I do not know. ⁴Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know. ⁵By the hearing of the ear I heard You, || And now my eye has seen You. ⁶Therefore I loathe [it], || And I have sighed on dust and ashes."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XLII

Job humbles himself before God, 1-6.

God accepts him; censures his three friends; and commands Job

to offer sacrifices for then, that he might pardon and accept

them, as they had not spoken what was right concerning their

Maker, 7-9.

The Lord turns Job's captivity; and his friends visit him, and

bring him presents, 10, 11.

Job's affluence becomes double to what it was before, 12.

His family is also increased, 13-15.

Having lived one hundred and forty years after his calamities,

he dies, 16, 17.
