CHAPTER 18
BILDAD’S SECOND SPEECH...

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....

suffers from his own evil schemes. He is like a stupid hunter who
walks into his own trap.
Job said that God caused his troubles....
-
HE IS CAST INTO A NET. — Job had compared himself to one hunted by
the Almighty (Job 10:16), and Bildad here describes the evil man as
snared in a net, but it is one for which he has no one to thank b...
