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 Respondió entonces Bildad de Súah:

2 «¿Cuándo pondrás fin a tanta palabrería?Entra en razón, y entonces hablaremos.

3 ¿Por qué nos tratas como si fuéramos bestias?¿Por qué nos consideras unos tontos?

4 Es tal tu enojo que te desgarras el alma;¡mas no por ti quedará desierta la tierra,ni se moverán de su lugar las rocas!

5 »La lámpara del malvado se apagará;la llama de su fuego dejará de arder.
