Job 42:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Go to my servant Job; whom though you have censured and condemned as a hypocrite, I own for my faithful servant, human infirmity excepted. Offer up by the hand of Job, whom I do hereby constitute your priest, to pray and sacrifice for you. Him will I accept, to wit, on your behalf, as well as on his own. Lest I deal with you after your folly; lest my wrath and just judgment take hold of you for your false and foolish speeches.

Job 42:8

8 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 hima 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.
