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....
-
Job thought that his troubles had some good effects (Job 17:8-9).
Bildad did not believe this. A wicked man’s death may upset
everyone. But a wicked man’s death would not help anybody.
Bildad said th...

DWELLINGS OF THE WICKED. — That is to say, of the wicked man. As
Bildad designedly uses the singular here, there can be little doubt
that he as designedly intended this terrible and cruel picture to

“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...
