Commentary on Job 8:1

Theological / Devotional

Bildad. This chapter contains Bildad’s response to Job’s speech of chs. 6 and 7. Bildad does not refer to Job’s expressions of despair (Job 6:1-13), nor to his tirade against his friends (Job 6:14-30). He deals, rather, with Job’s criticism of God. Where Eliphaz had supported his argument by a vision that he declared was from God (Job 4:13), Bildad appeals for support to the wisdom of the ancients.
