CHAPTER VIII _Bildad answers, and reproves Job for his justifying himself_, 1, 2. _Shows that God is just, and never punishes but for iniquity;_ _and intimates that it was on account of their sins...

BILDAD'S CRUEL RESPONSE (vv.1-22) Bildad's response to Job was much more brief than that of Eliphaz, but following along the same line. He did not begin in the conciliatory way that Eliphaz did, how...
