Notes

Job 42:8–9

The LORD made Job the "mediator" that Job had hoped to find for himself and that Elihu wanted to be (9:33; 16:19–21; 19:25; 32:1–37:24).
go to My servant Job: God wanted Job’s friends to make peace with Job before they offered their gifts (Matthew 5:23–24).
My servant Job will pray for you: He had also prayed for his children (1:5; compare James 5:16; 1 John 5:16).
When the LORD accepted Job’s prayer, it ironically fulfilled Eliphaz’s promise (Job 22:26–30).
