HIS ROOTS SHALL BE DRIED UP - Another image of complete desolation -

JOB 18. SECOND SPEECH OF BILDAD.Bildad speaks this time at unusual

CHAPTER 18
BILDAD’S SECOND SPEECH...
-
The thought about a tree gave comfort to Job (Job 14:7-9). A tree that
seems dead can live again. But Bildad thought that Job’s idea was
not reality. He reminded Job that a tree can really die....
-
Bildad’s only idea in this chapter was that a wicked man is never
successful. Bildad did not actually say that Job was wicked. But
Bildad clearly had this opinion....
-
HIS ROOTS SHALL BE DRIED UP. — With tacit allusion to what he had
said in Job 8:12, and also to the destruction of Job’s own
offspring, which had already been accomplished....

“CAST INTO A NET”
