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.
