The LORD Rebukes Job’s Friends

⁸So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request.

This verse showcases the importance of humility, repentance, and reconciliation in relationships, as well as the power of forgiveness and restoration. It also demonstrates God's sovereignty in using even difficult circumstances to bring about healing and reconciliation among His people. Ultimately, Job 42:9 highlights the themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the transformative power of God's grace in the midst of trials and hardships.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

9 The Eliphaz of Teman, and Bildad of Shuach, and Zophar of Naamah, went forth and did as Jehovah had said to them; and Jehovah accepted the person of Job. Jehovah has now risen up as a witness for Job, the spiritual redemption is already accomplished; and all that is wanting is, that He who has acknowledged and testified to Job as His servant should also act outwardly and visibly, and in mercy show Himself the righteous One.
