Commentary on Job 8:4

Theological / Devotional

Thy children. The severest of Job’s losses was that of his children. Bildad leveled an unkind thrust at Job by inferring that his children died because they were sinners. Year after year Job had offered sacrifices in behalf of his sons (Job 1:5). Bildad was wrong in his assumption. Calamity does not prove guilt on the part of its victims (see Luke 13:1-5; John 9:2, 3).
