Job 8:15

The term "house" here includes, his family, establishment, and resources. "Bildad insinuated that Job was depending on his possessions for his security" (Zuck p. 45). Bildad then compares the godless to. plant that seems to thrive, its branches filling the garden, its roots spreading upon the stones, but it is quickly uprooted, and the place where it was thriving disowns it. "Like the gourd that prospers in its season and then dies without leaving. trace of its existence" (McKenna p. 83).
