Commentary on Job 8:14

Theological / Devotional

Whose hope. Some suppose that the quotation from the ancients closes with v. 13, and that v. 14 begins the comments of Bildad on the passage to which he has referred. Others continue the quotation to the close of v. 18, and still others to the close of v. 19. Spider’s web. Literally, “A spider’s house.” A symbol of frailty.
