King James Version (KJV)
“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
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 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.
Job 42:8 — KJV
Pray for you. An example of intercessory prayer (see James 5:16; 1 John 5:16).
God sometimes sees fit to bestow His forgiveness and His blessings in response to intercessory prayer. In this case the significance of such prayer is enhanced by the fact that Job is praying for those who have not treated him fairly or kindly.
Folly. God thus characterizes the speeches of the friends. How foolish man’s traditions and pet ideas appear to God. How surprised Eliphaz and his companions must have been in view of having made such a point of vindicating God! Men must learn that they best vindicate God by representing Him as He is, a God of love and mercy.
