L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 27:1-23
HOLDING FAST HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS (vv.1-7) In Chapter 26 Job answered Bildad fully. Bildad's last argument was very brief, and after this Zophar had nothing at all to say. Job has already won the debate, though he fully, admits that he has not found the relief he is seeking.

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Job 27:1-23
THIRD SERIES OF THE DEBATE 1. With Eliphaz (chaps. 22-24) a. Speech of Eliphaz (chap. 22) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 23-24) 2. With Bildad (chaps. 25-26) a. Speech of Bildad (chap. 25) b.

There is more severity in it than he has shown before. He charges Job with cruelty,... read more
Joseph Parker
The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 27:1-23
Quiet Resting-places Job 25-27 It is a curious speech with which Bildad winds up the animated colloquy between Job and his three friends. There is a streak of failure across the face of the speech, notwithstanding its dignity. Indeed, the dignity is somewhat against the speech. Bildad is as ignorant of the reality of the case in the peroration as he was in the exordium. If this is all that can be said at the close of such an intellectual and spiritual interview, then some of the parties have... read more
