Bildad: Job Should Repent

1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2“How long will you go on saying such things?The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.

Bildad believed God does not pervert justice. He thought the death of Job’s children showed they had sinned against God. Bildad divided people into "the blameless" (Hebrew tam, 8:20a; see 1:1) or "the godless" (Hebrew khanep, 8:13b). He believed one could distinguish them by observing God's actions toward them.
3Does God pervert justice?Does the Almighty pervert what is right?4When your children sinned against Him,He gave them over to their rebellion.5But if you would earnestly seek Godand ask the Almighty for mercy,6if you are pure and upright,even now He will rouse Himself on your behalfand restore your righteous estate.7Though your beginnings were modest,your latter days will flourish.

Bildad argued for traditional wisdom by referring to ancient traditions and history (Deuteronomy 4:32; Jeremiah 18:13).
8Please inquire of past generationsand consider the discoveries of their fathers.9For we were born yesterday and know nothing;our days on earth are but a shadow.10Will they not teach you and tell you,and speak from their understanding?11Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh?Do reeds flourish without water?

To forget God means behaving as if God does not exist or cannot see (see Psalms 10:4; 14:1; Zephaniah 1:12; see Job 22:13–17; Psalm 94:7).
12While the shoots are still uncut,they dry up more quickly than grass.
13Such is the destiny of all who forget God;so the hope of the godless will perish.14His confidence is fragile;his security is in a spider’s web.15He leans on his web, but it gives way;he holds fast, but it does not endure.

In this symbolic story, a plant spreads its shoots over the garden. The roots wrap around the rock heap, giving the plant stability.
16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine,spreading its shoots over the garden.17His roots wrap around the rock heap;he looks for a home among the stones.18If he is uprooted from his place,it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’19Surely this is the joy of his way;yet others will spring from the dust.
20Behold, God does not reject the blameless,nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers.21He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,and your lips with a shout of joy.22Your enemies will be clothed in shame,and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
