SEV Biblia, Chapter 42:10
¶ Y tornó el SEÑOR la aflicción de Job, orando él por sus amigos; y aumentó al doble todas las cosas que habían sido de Job.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 42:10
Verse 10. The Lord turned the captivity of Job ] The Vulgate has: Dominus quoque conversus est ad poenitentiam Job; "And the LORD turned Job to repentance." The Chaldee: "The WORD of the Lord ( yyd armym meymera dayai) turned the captivity of Job." There is a remark which these words suggest, which has been rarely, if at all, noticed. It is said that the Lord turned the captivity of Job WHEN HE PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS. He had suffered much through the unkindness of these friends; they had criticised his conduct without feeling or mercy; and he had just cause to be irritated against them: and that he had such a feeling towards them, several parts of his discourses sufficiently prove. God was now about to show Job his mercy; but mercy can be shown only to the merciful; Job must forgive his unfeeling friends, if he would be forgiven by the Lord; he directs him, therefore, to pray for them, ver. 8. He who can pray for another cannot entertain enmity against him: Job did so, and when he prayed for his friends, God turned the captivity of Job. "Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven." Some suppose that Job, being miraculously restored, armed his servants and remaining friends, and fell upon those who had spoiled him; and not only recovered his own property, but also spoiled the spoilers, and thus his substance became double what it was before. Of this I do not see any intimation in the sacred text.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-17 - In the beginning of this book we had Job's patience under his troubles for an example; here, for our encouragement to follow that example, we have his happy end. His troubles began in Satan's malice, which God restrained; his restoration began in God's mercy, which Satan could no oppose. Mercy did not return when Job was disputing with his friends but when he was praying for them. God is served and pleased with ou warm devotions, not with our warm disputes. God doubled Job' possessions. We may lose much for the Lord, but we shall not lose an thing by him. Whether the Lord gives us health and temporal blessing or not, if we patiently suffer according to his will, in the end we shall be happy. Job's estate increased. The blessing of the Lord make rich; it is he that gives us power to get wealth, and gives success i honest endeavours. The last days of a good man sometimes prove his best, his last works his best works, his last comforts his bes comforts; for his path, like that of the morning light, shines more an more unto the perfect day __________________________________________________________________
