Job 18:1

1 Alors Bildad, de Shuach, prit la parole et dit:

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 Alors Bildad, de Shuach, prit la parole et dit:

2 Quand finirez-vous ces discours? Ayez du bon sens, et ensuite parlons.

3 Pourquoi sommes-nous regardés comme des bêtes, et sommes-nous stupides à vos yeux?

4 O toi qui te déchires toi-même dans ta fureur, la terre sera-t-elle abandonnée à cause de toi, et le rocher sera-t-il transporté hors de sa place?

5 Oui, la lumière du méchant s'éteindra, et la flamme de son feu ne brillera pas.
