And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.
Job 42:5 By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.
Job 42:6 Therefore do I loathe <FI>it<Fi> , And I have repented on dust and ashes.
Job 42:7 And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.
Job 42:8 And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.
Job 42:9 And they go--Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite--and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.
The verse centers on "cometh", "pass", "after", "jehovah's", "speaking", "words", and "saith". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "cometh" and "pass", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 6's "Therefore do I loathe FI it Fi..." into verse 8's "And now take to you seven bullocks...", so "cometh" and "pass" belong inside that flow. In Job context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "cometh" and "pass" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
