BILDAD'S SECOND SPEECH
Bildad replies with a rebuke to Job and a reassertion of the miserable
lot of the wicked already asserted by Eliphaz; not so much, however,
with covert reference to Job, to who...

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...

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

under a sense of annoyance. He was wounded at the wrongs done t...

EXPOSITION
