Job 8:1–22 Bildad is the second friend to “comfort” Job.
Job 8:4–6 After the rhetorical questions in v. 3, Bildad presents two conditional statements (“if . . . then”) to Job that are meant to represent the consequences of God’s justice. The first statement (v. 4) assumes that Job’s children have suffered because of their sin. The second calls Job to remember that, if he will repent (v. 5) and if he is blameless (v. 6), then God will spare him from the end that his children have suffered.
Job 8:8–10 Bildad bases his advice on the wisdom of his fathers, that is, his ancestors.
Job 8:11–19 Papyrus and reeds grow quickly in the wetlands, but they are also very vulnerable. They need a constant supply of water. Other plants are deeply rooted in rocky soil, but they can be uprooted, leaving no trace of their presence. Likewise, the way of the wicked is fragile and futile.
Job 8:20–22 In his conclusion, Bildad asserts two things: if Job were a blameless man, God would not have rejected him; the tent of the wicked will not stand for long.
