Commentary on Job 42:9

Theological / Devotional

Accepted Job. The man whom they had endeavored to set right became their intercessor for salvation and repentance. This is a dramatic contrast. God accepted Job’s prayer in their behalf. It would be interesting, if it could be known, whether these three men revised their philosophy of life in harmony with what God was endeavoring to teach them.
