Job 26:1

“In contrast with the shortest speech in the book (chapter 25) Chapter s 26-31 comprise the longest. Job replied first to Bildad ('you' in Job 26:2 is singular), but later (in Chapter s 27-31) to all three (“you” in Job 27:5 is plural)” (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 748). These Chapter s (26-31) are also Job's final response to his critics. In this section, Job will repudiate Bildad's wisdom (Chapter s 26-27), talk about God's wisdom (28), express. desire for his past glory (29), bemoan his present misery (30), and declare his innocence (31).
