Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 8:20

BILDAD'S FINAL THRUST AT JOB"Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man,Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter,And thy lips with shouting.They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame;And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.""God will not cast away a perfect man" (Job 8:20). Bildad's assertion here makes him the precursor of those who mocked Jesus on the Cross using this same logic: `He trusts in God; let God deliver him' (Matthew... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 8:20-22

Job 8:20-22. Behold, God will not cast away— Lo! as God doth not cast away the perfect man, so neither doth he strengthen the hands of the wicked; Job 8:21. Therefore he will again fill thy mouth with laughter, &c. Houbigant. This appears a kind of sarcastical conclusion; in which Bildad observes, that, though the hypocrite perishes in the manner above described, yet God will never reject the good man; and therefore, if Job were really such a one, which he appears greatly to doubt, he might... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 8:20

20. Bildad regards Job as a righteous man, who has fallen into sin. God will not cast away a perfect man—(or godly man, such as Job was), if he will only repent. Those alone who persevere in sin God will not help (Hebrew, "take by the hand," Psalms 73:23; Isaiah 41:13; Isaiah 42:6) when fallen. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 8:1-22

3. Bildad’s first speech ch. 8Bildad agreed with Eliphaz that God was paying Job back for some sin he had committed, and he believed God would show Job mercy if he confessed that sin. However, Bildad built his conclusions on a slightly different foundation. Eliphaz argued from his own personal experience and observations (Job 4:8; Job 4:12-21). Bildad cited a more reliable authority: the experience of past generations that had come down through years of tradition (Job 8:8-10). He was a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 8:20-22

The possibility of blessing 8:20-22By reminding Job of God’s integrity, Bildad hoped to appeal to his friend to repent. Bildad assured him that if he did, God would restore him."Bildad’s assertion that God will not reject a blameless man (20a) makes him the precursor of those who mocked Jesus with the same logic: ’He trusts in God; let God deliver him’ (Matthew 27:43). Job has a lesser Calvary, and each person has his own. But when we know about God’s rejection of Jesus, our dereliction can... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 8:1-22

The First Speech of BildadHolding the same doctrine about sin and suffering as Eliphaz, Bildad supports the views of his friend by an appeal to the teaching of antiquity. He shows less sympathy and more narrowness of mind than Eliphaz.1-7. Bildad maintains the justice of God’s actions. Since Job’s children have perished it must have been for their sins. As for Job, if he would but repent he would be restored to prosperity.2. Like a strong wind] violent, headstrong.3. Can there be injustice with... read more

Job 8:8-9 If we do not take to our aid the foregone studies of men reputed intelligent and learned, we shall be always beginners. Burke, Appeal from New to Old Whigs. What makes the Radical of the street is mostly mother-wit exercising itself upon the facts of the time. His weakness is that he does not know enough of the facts of other times. Morley, Studies in Literature, p. 125. 'In his adoration of what he recognized as living,' says Mr. Symonds ( Shelley, pp. 40 f.), 'Shelley retained no... read more

XIX.VENTURESOME THEOLOGYJob 8:1-22BILDAD SPEAKSTHE first attempt to meet Job has been made by one who relies on his own experience and takes pleasure in recounting the things which he has seen. Bildad of Shuach, on the other hand, is a man who holds to the wisdom of the fathers and supports himself at all times with their answers to the questions of life. Vain to him is the reasoning of one who sees all as through coloured glass, everything of this tint or that, according to his state or... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 8:1-22

CHAPTER 8 Bildad’s Address 1. How long, Job? (Job 8:1-7 ) 2. Enquire of the former age (Job 8:8-10 ) 3. God’s dealing with the wicked and the righteous (Job 8:11-22 ) Job 8:1-7 . Bildad the Shuhite now speaks to Job. He is less dogmatic than Eliphaz, and less courteous, but more outspoken. He must have lost his patience listening to Job’s reply. Especially does he resent what Job had said about God, the insinuations which had fallen from his lips. But we shall see he too follows the... read more
