II. Bildad and Job: Chap. 25–26A.—Bildad: Again setting forth the contrast between God’s exaltation and human impotenceJob 25:01. Man cannot argue with GodJob 25:2-41 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:2 Dominion and fear are with Him,He maketh peace in His high places.3 Is there any number of His armies?and upon whom doth not His light arise?4 How then can man be justified with God?or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?2. Man is not pure before God: Job... read more

“The Outskirts of His Ways” Job 26:1-14 Job taunts Bildad with his reply as having imparted no help or thought. He then proceeds, Job 26:5-14 , to give a description of God’s power as manifested in Hades, in space, in the clouds, in the ocean, and throughout the universe. The spirits of the dead tremble before Him; the grave and destruction that veil themselves in night are stripped before His gaze; the world itself is suspended in space by invisible threads (a wonderful foreshadowing of the... read more

We come next to Job's answer. The reply to Bildad occupies but one chapter, which is characterized from beginning to end by scorn for the man who had no more to say. In a series of fierce exclamations Job revealed the impotence of all that his friend had said to help him. Then, to show the poverty of Bildad's argument, he spoke of the greatness of God to prove that he knew it, and even more perfectly than his friends. God's power is exercised in the underworld. The "shades tremble," the grave... read more

Job 26:5-2 Chronicles : . Conclusion of Bildad’ s Speech.— Bildad pursues the theme of the greatness of God, begun in Job 25:2-Leviticus :.The giants ( Deuteronomy 2:11-Proverbs :) tremble at God ( Job 26:5). Rephaim ( Genesis 14:5 *) means both shades ( mg.) and “ giants” ; perhaps the connexion is that the giants, the oldest inhabitants of the earth, were the first to go down to Sheol, and so gave their name to all the shades. In any case it is best to translate here “ giants.” It gives an... read more

By his spirit; either, 1. By his Divine virtue or power, which is sometimes called his spirit, as Zechariah 4:6; Matthew 12:28. Or, 2. By his Holy Spirit, to which the creation of the world is ascribed, Genesis 1:2; Job 33:4; Psalms 33:6. He hath garnished the heavens; adorned or beautified them with those glorious lights, the sun, and moon, and stars. The crooked serpent; by which he understands either, 1. All the kinds of serpents, or fishes, or monsters of the sea. Or, 2. The most eminent of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 26:1-14

JOB’S REPLY TO BILDADJob, more alive to Bildad’s want of sympathy than to the excellence of his sentiments in regard to the Divine perfections, speaks somewhat petulantly,—certainly with irony and sarcasm. Job not yet humbled. He hears of God “by the hearing of the ear,” but as yet his eye does not see him (ch. Job 42:5). Mere verbal representations, even of the truth, not sufficient to humble and pacify the soul. God must reveal Himself.Uncertain whether the larger portion of this chapter,... read more

Chapter 26So Job answers now this little saying of Bildad. It's his third and final answer to Job, and it's really nothing.Job answered and said, How have you helped him that is without power? how can you save me with an arm that has no strength? How have you counseled him who has no wisdom? how have you really declared the thing as it really is? To whom have you uttered your words? and whose spirit came from you? Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. Hell... read more

Job 26:5 . Dead things, הרפאים ha-raphaim, the raphaim are formed from under the waters. SCHULTENS reads, Manes orcinorum intremiscunt, de subter aquis, et la habitatores eorum. The manes of the dead tremble or howl beneath the waters, with their inhabitants; that is, the fallen angels, who inhabit those abodes of horror. Job’s allusion is to the antediluvian giants, the impious scoffers at the ark in the days of Noah. So is the running gloss of the rabbins, and of the christian... read more

In connection with the world of disembodied spirits. “Dead things are formed from under the waters and the inhabitants thereof. Hell is naked before Him, and destruction hath no covering.”2.
