JOB 8

BILDAD SPEAKS HIS MIND

Another of Job’s friends, Bildad, offers his perspective on Job’s situation. Like Eliphaz, Bildad believes that God operates out of strict justice. Bildad claims that the death of Job’s children must have been a rebuke for their transgressions.

Bildad argues that God would not reject a blameless man and cause this much strife for someone without sin. Bildad believes that no good can come to someone who turns away from God.
