Job 42:7

Context

VII. The Epilogue (42:7-17)

42:7 After the Lord had spoken these things to Job, he 1  said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger is stirred up 2  against you and your two friends, because you have not spoken about me what is right, 3  as my servant Job has.

Job 42:9

Context

42:9 So they went, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and did just as the Lord had told them; and the Lord had respect for Job. 4 

1 tn Heb “the Lord.” The title has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “is kindled.”

3 tn The form נְכוֹנָה (nÿkhonah) is from כּוּן (kun, “to be firm; to be fixed; to be established”). Here it means “the right thing” or “truth.” The Akkadian word kenu (from כּוּן, kun) connotes justice and truth.

4 tn The expression “had respect for Job” means God answered his prayer.
