SEV Biblia, Chapter 42:16
Y después de esto vivió Job ciento cuarenta años, y vio a sus hijos, y a los hijos de sus hijos, hasta la cuarta generación.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 42:16
Verse 16. After this lived Job a hundred and forty years ] How long he had lived before his afflictions, we cannot tell. If we could rely on the Septuagint, all would be plain, who add here, ta de panta eth ezhsen, diakosia tessarakonta; "And all the years that Job lived were two hundred and forty." This makes him one hundred years of age when his trial commenced. Coverdale has, After this lyved Job forty yeares, omitting the hundred. So also in Becke's Bible, 1549. From the age, as marked down in the Hebrew text, we can infer nothing relative to the time when Job lived. See the subscription at the end of the Arabic.
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 __________________________________________________________________
