Eligible tries to defend GOD and ends up still condemning Job

Job does not understand but he sees evidence for GOD’s Wisdom and Power that extends to every part of the known world that man cannot find on his own

Bildad the Shuhite has a very low view of man and a distant view of GOD that causes him to devalue man.

GOD does allow tests but HE also shows us how to shine forth as gold.

Eliphaz the Temanite states a checklist of things to do so that GOD always answers. Job will address this fallacy in the next two chapters.

Job replies to Zophar and mentions his motive for blasting Job.

Zophar hammers down on the same argument and confuses the judgment with the present.

Job states he knows at the end HIS REDEEMER shall stand on the earth and though he himself shall die in that day he shall see GOD.

Bildad desperately wants to make the point that we can avoid pain by not choosing evil. Clearly evil is not always directly punished and as we find out later in Scripture this is an opportunity for GOD to showcase HIS EXCELLENT Forgiveness.

GOD knows more than any person can exactly what is happening and our attitudes and actions in the middle of the trial.
