The divine speeches (Job 38-41) highlight God's power in creation and His wisdom, which surpasses human comprehension. This sets the stage for the resolution of the narrative, where God addresses Job's friends.He said to Eliphaz the Temanite Eliphaz is identified as the leader among Job's friends, possibly due to his age or status. Teman was a region in Edom, known for its wise men (<a href="/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7</a>). This geographical reference underscores the expectation of wisdom from Eliphaz, which contrasts with his failure to speak rightly about God.My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends God's anger is directed at Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar for their incorrect representation of His character and actions. This divine rebuke highlights the seriousness of misrepresenting God, a theme echoed in other scriptures such as <a href="/james/3.htm">James 3:1</a>, which warns of the responsibility of teachers to speak truthfully.For you have not spoken about Me accurately The friends' speeches are characterized by a rigid retribution theology, suggesting that suffering is always a direct result of personal sin. This view is challenged by the narrative of Job, who is described as blameless and upright (<a href="/job/1.htm">Job 1:1</a>). Their failure to speak accurately about God reflects a misunderstanding of His justice and mercy.as My servant Job has Despite Job's complaints and questions, God affirms that Job has spoken rightly about Him. This endorsement suggests that honest wrestling with God, even in confusion and pain, is preferable to false certainties. Job's role as a servant of God foreshadows the suffering servant motif found in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, which Christians see as a type of Christ, who also suffered unjustly yet remained faithful.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The sovereign God who speaks to Job and his friends, revealing His authority and justice. 2. <a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a> A righteous man who suffered greatly but remained faithful to God, ultimately vindicated by God. 3. <a href="/topical/e/eliphaz_the_temanite.htm">Eliphaz the Temanite</a> One of Job's three friends who incorrectly judged Job's suffering as a result of sin. 4. <a href="/topical/b/bildad_the_shuhite_and_zophar_the_naamathite.htm">Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite</a> The other two friends of Job who, along with Eliphaz, misrepresented God's character and justice. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_dialogue.htm">The Dialogue</a> The series of conversations between Job and his friends, culminating in God's response and correction.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_accurate_theology.htm">The Importance of Accurate Theology</a> Misrepresenting God's character can lead to His displeasure, as seen with Job's friends.

But throughout they had been on the wrong side, and seemed to think that the cause of God had need to be upheld at all risks, and that it might even be required to tell lies for God (<a href="/job/13-7.htm" title="Will you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?">Job 13:7</a>); and it was this that provoked the Divine indignation.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/42.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 7. - And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job. The "words" intended seem to be those of ch. 38-41, not any words in the earlier portion of this chapter. God heard Job's confession in silence, and, without further speech to him, addressed Eliphaz and his "friends." The Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends. The superior position of Eliphaz is here very strongly recognized - he alone is mentioned by name, he alone addressed directly. The precedence thus given to him accords with that which he holds, both in the earlier historical narrative (<a href="/job/2-11.htm">Job 2:11</a>) and in the dialogue (<a href="/job/4-1.htm">Job 4:1</a>; <a href="/job/15-1.htm">Job 15:1</a>; <a href="/job/22-1.htm">Job 22:1</a>). For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. Job had, on the whole, spoken what was right and true of God, and is acknowledged by God as his true servant. The "comforters," consciously or unconsciously, had spoken what was false. Even if they said what they believed, they ought to have known better. <a href="/commentaries/job/42-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>After אַחַ֨ר (’a·ḥar) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_310.htm">Strong's 310: </a> The hind or following part the LORD יְהוָ֛ה (Yah·weh) Noun -
