Commentary on Job 18:4
Theological / DevotionalHe teareth himself. The Hebrew language permits rapid transitions from the second to the third person, and vice versa. There may be in these words an allusion to ch. 16:9, where Job represented God as tearing him “in his wrath.”
Be forsaken for thee. Shall the course of the world be altered to meet your wishes? Job had wished for some impossible things (see ch. 3:3-6). Bildad’s reproach is not wholly unjust, but he fails to take into account the effects that Job’s suffering has had on his thinking.
