Context — The LORD Rebukes Job’s Friends
7After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.
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 prayer.
10After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions. 11All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.Cross References

Job 42:9 Summary
[This verse shows us that God values prayer and obedience, and that He is a God of mercy and forgiveness. When Job prayed for his friends, God accepted his prayer and blessed him, as seen in Job 42:9 and Job 42:10. This teaches us that our prayers can make a difference in the lives of others, and that God is always working for our good, as promised in Romans 8:28. By obeying God's commands and praying for others, we can experience His blessing and mercy in our own lives.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God tell Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar to go to Job and sacrifice a burnt offering?
God told them to do this because they had not spoken accurately about Him, unlike Job, and this act was a way for them to seek forgiveness and restoration, as seen in Job 42:7-8 and supported by the principle in Leviticus 4:1-3 that sin requires atonement through sacrifice.
What does it mean that the LORD accepted Job's request?
This means that God heard and honored Job's prayer for his friends, showing that God values intercessory prayer, as seen in Job 42:9 and supported by the teaching in 1 Timothy 2:1-4 that we should pray for all people.
How did Job's friends show obedience to God's command?
Job's friends showed obedience by going to Job and sacrificing a burnt offering for themselves, as God had instructed them to do in Job 42:8, demonstrating the importance of obeying God's commands, as emphasized in Deuteronomy 11:27-28 and Jeremiah 7:23.
What is the significance of God accepting Job's prayer for his friends?
This shows that God is a God of mercy and forgiveness, and that He values the prayers of the righteous, as seen in Job 42:9 and supported by the teaching in James 5:16 that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Reflection Questions

- How does this verse demonstrate God's character, and what does it reveal about His heart towards us?
- What role does obedience play in our relationship with God, and how can we show obedience in our daily lives, just like Job's friends did in this verse?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 42:9

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Job 42:9
Did according as the Lord commanded them; showing their repentance by their submission to God, and to Job for God’ s sake, and by taking shame to themselves. The Lord also accepted Job, both for his friends and for himself, as the next verse explains it.
Trapp's Commentary on Job 42:9
Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.Ver. 9. So Eliphaz the Temanite, &c.] Here was resipiscentia ex fide constans, saith Brentius, the repentance of faith, the obedience also of faith readily yielded. Had not these been good and godly men they would have stuck at the cost of so great a sacrifice, they would also have scorned to have sought to Job, whom they had so much slighted, and to beg his prayers, of whom they had so ill deserved. But they had not so learned Christ. God, they saw well, was greatly offended and Job highly accepted; glad therefore were they by any good means to ingratiate, each of them saying to God for himself, as he did once to Caesar, Iussa sequi tam velle mihi quam posse necesse est (Lucan) (Lucan). Omne trahit secum Numinis ira malum (Ovid). The Lord also accepted Job] Whether he testified his good acceptance by consuming his sacrifice with fire from heaven is uncertain.

And hitherto God’ s decisive sentence, whereby all the strife was graciously ended, and all parties happily and heartily reconciled. What became of Satan, a chief actor in this tragedy, we read not; Victus enim abiit.
And as God would not once call him to account, when he had beguiled our first parents, Genesis 3:1-7, because he meant him no mercy; so here he never mentioned him, as being judged already, and by Job bravely worsted and defeated. All that we find of him is, that his commisslon to vex Job any further was now taken away, for so it followeth,
