Job 18:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 18:1

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said.
] Who, next to Eliphaz, spoke before, and now in his turn attacks Job a second time, and more roughly and severely than before; now he gives him no advice or counsel, nor any instructions and exhortations for his good, nor suggests that it might be better times with him again, as he had done before; but only heaps up charges against him, and describes the miserable circumstances of a wicked man, as near to Job's as he could; thereby endeavouring to confirm his former position, that wicked men are punished of God, and to have this conclusion drawn from it, that Job must needs be a wicked man, since he was so greatly afflicted.

Job 18:1 In-Context

1 Bildad de Schuach prit la parole et dit:

2 Quand mettrez-vous un terme à ces discours? Ayez de l'intelligence, puis nous parlerons.

3 Pourquoi sommes-nous regardés comme des bêtes? Pourquoi ne sommes-nous à vos yeux que des brutes?

4 O toi qui te déchires dans ta fureur, Faut-il, à cause de toi, que la terre devienne déserte? Faut-il que les rochers disparaissent de leur place?

5 La lumière du méchant s'éteindra, Et la flamme qui en jaillit cessera de briller.
