G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 8:1-22

In answer to Job, the next of his friends, Bildad, took up the argument. There is greater directness in his speech than in that of Eliphaz. By comparison it lacks in courtesy, but gains in force. He made no reference to Job's attack on his friends, but proceeded to make one statement of the righteousness of God from two standpoints. He first protested against the idea which Job's complaint had seemed to advance, that God's dealings are ever unjust with the righteous (1-7). It would be better... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 8:1-7

Job 8:1-Judges : . Opening of Bildad’ s First Speech.— The two younger friends, says Duhm, make a less favourable impression than Eliphaz. Bildad’ s great point is the discriminating rectitude of God, who unfailingly rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked. His whole idea of fortune and misfortune is even more mechanical than that of Eliphaz. The idea that God remains an unchangeable factor, and the relation of man to Him only changes, comes out if possible even more clearly in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 8:6

If thou wert in truth what thou pretendest, and hast been thought by others, to be, pure and upright, i.e. of a sincere heart and blameless life towards God and men. But God’s severe dealing with thee is an evident token, that notwithstanding all thy fair shows, thou art but a hypocrite and secret sinner. And this sense may seem to agree both with the same charge brought in against Job by Eliphaz, Job 4:6,Job 4:7, and with the following discourse, particularly with Job 8:13,Job 8:20. Or thus,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 8:1-22

BILDAD’S FIRST SPEECHBildad less courteous and considerate of Job’s feelings than even Eliphaz. Commences with an unfeeling reflection on his speech. Pursues the same line of argument and address as his predecessor—(1) God is righteous—punishing the bad, and rewarding those who seek and serve Him; (2) Job exhorted to prove the latter by sincere repentance and prayer; (3) The prosperity of the wicked short-lived, and sure to end in ruin: the end of the righteous certain joy and triumph.I.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 8:1-22

Chapter 8So Bildad, the next friend, speaks up and he said,How long will you speak these things? how long will your words of your mouth be like a [big, bag of] wind? Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice? If your children have sinned against him, and he has cast them away for their transgression ( Job 8:2-4 );And okay now, he's getting on my kids. They've sinned and God wiped them out. And now you going to blame God?If you would seek unto God before, and make your... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 8:1-22

Job 8:7 . Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should be great. Many great patriarchs, like Jacob, had once but a small beginning. Job 8:11 . Can the rush grow. The LXX read, “the papyrus,” the leaf of which was used as paper among the Egyptians; and the tallipot leaf is used in a similar manner in India. Job 8:15 . He shall lean upon his house. The LXX, “Though he moat his house; i.e. with a ditch or drain, and parapet; yet it shall not stand.” This reading relieves... read more

Job 8:5-7If thou wouldst seek unto God betimes.The sinful man’s searchI. What is it that God requireth? A diligent and speedy search. It is a work both in desire and labour to be joined with God. How must we search? Faithfully, humbly, continually. Whom we must seek. God, for four causes.1. Because we have nothing of ourselves, nor of any other creature.2. Because none is so present as He.3. Because none is so able to help as He.4. Because there is none so willing to help as He. When we must... read more

Job 8:6Surely now He would awake for thee. Prayer awaking GodGod sleeps, not in regard of the act, but the consequents of sleep. Natural sleep is the binding or locking up of the senses. The eye and ear of God is never bound. But to man’s apprehension the affairs of the world pass, as if God did neither hear nor see. When men are asleep things are done which they can take no notice of, much less stop and prevent. Sleeping and awaking, as applied to God, note only the changes of providence. The... read more
