"What. help you are to the weak!": Job declares that Bildad's counsel and help have been absolutely worthless. Job 26:2-3 "Abundantly provided": "Speaking of the 'helpful insight' Bildad had 'abundantly provided', Job was no doubt sarcastically blasting Bildad's short speech, which was given without help, without insight, and without kindness" (Zuck pp. 115-116). "Job identifies his own position as powerless, weak, and without wisdom to deal with the mysterious circumstances of his suffering, Bildad, however, is commended as the one who could help him, hold him up, and counsel him (Job 26:2-3). But rather than meeting his needs, Bildad charges him with sin, labels him as wicked, and reduces him to. worm" (McKenna pp. 186-187).
