Job's age and death After Job had prayed for his friends This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the narrative of Job. The Hebrew root for "prayed" is "palal," which means to intercede or mediate. Job's act of praying for his friends signifies a profound spiritual maturity and obedience to God. Despite the harsh accusations and lack of understanding from his friends, Job rises above personal grievances to intercede on their behalf. This act of forgiveness and intercession is reminiscent of Christ's teachings in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to pray for those who persecute them (Matthew 5:44). Job's prayer is a demonstration of his restored relationship with God and his willingness to act in love and mercy. the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions This is the true moral of all human history, which is to be accomplished in the world of the regeneration, if not here. All sorrow is fraught with the promise and the hope of future blessedness, and to know that is to rob sorrow of its pain. It is impossible to reap the full gain of it when the burden presses, but, as far as it can be done, sorrow is mitigated. Had Job been able to look forward with confidence to his actual deliverance, he would have been able to bear his affliction; it was because he could not that all was dark. And after all there are sorrows and afflictions for which there is no deliverance like Job's; there is a captivity which can never be turned in this life, and for this the only hope is the sure hope of the Gospel, and the promise which in its degree is afforded by the history of Job: for if Job's is a representative history, as we are bound to believe it must be, then the lesson of it must be that what is not explained or mended here will be explained and mended hereafter. It is God alone who can enlighten the darkness which surrounds His counsels; but at the same time we must remember that with Him is the well of life, and in His light we shall see light. Verse 10 - And the Lord turned the captivity of Job. The literal use of this phrase is common, the metaphorical use of it uncommon, in Scripture. Still, it is so simple a metaphor, and captivity so common a thing among ancient peoples, that it may well have been in general use among the nations of Western Asia from very primitive times. It signifies, as Professor Lee remarks, "a restoration to former happy circumstances." When he prayed for his friends. Perhaps his complete forgiveness by God was contingent on his own complete forgiveness of his "friends" (Matthew 6:12, 14, 15; Matthew 18:32-35); at any rate, his restoration immediately followed his intercession. Also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before; literally, added to all that had been Job's to the double (comp. ver. 12).Parallel Commentaries ...
