Job 18:1-3 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

(1) В¶ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, (2) How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. (3) Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

There is nothing new in these observations, except in the different manner of expression. Bildad seems mighty angry, that what he had said before had been so little regarded. He chargeth Job with idle unprofitable talk, and with observing contempt towards him and his friends. But he advanceth no one proof to make good that charge, and there the matter seemeth to rest.
