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

the fate of the godless. Into the description of this, however,...

The disastrous end of the wicked, in the moral order of the world, is

All things hasten on his ruin; the moral order of the world is such
that wherever he moves or touches upon it it becomes a snare to seize

CHAPTER 18
BILDAD’S SECOND SPEECH...
-
The wicked man tries to make trouble for other people. But he himself
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....
-
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....

“CAST INTO A NET”
Job 18:1
Bildad's second speech reveals how utterly he failed to understand
Job's appeal for a divine witness and surety. Such words were _snares_
to him, Job 18:2, r.v. The deep t...

Bildad now returned to the charge, and as was the case with Eliphaz it
is perfectly evident from his opening rebuke that he was speaking
under a sense of annoyance. He was wounded at the wrongs done t...

EXPOSITION
