Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said. This was the second of Job's friends that came to visit him, Job 2:11; and is mentioned next to Eliphaz there, and takes his turn in this controversy in the same side; which no doubt was agreed upon among themselves, as well as the part each should bear, and the general sentiment they should pursue, which was the same in them all. Some have observed, that Job's friends were like the messengers that brought him the tidings of his losses, before one had done speaking another came; and so as soon as one of his friends had delivered his discourse, and before Job could well finish his reply, up starts another to charge him afresh, as here Bildad did, who said as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite - ; see the notes at Job 2:11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
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 that his
children were cut off, 3, 4.
States that, if Job would humble himself to the Almighty,
provided he were innocent, his captivity would soon be turned,
and his latter end be abundantly prosperous, 5-7.
Appeals to the ancients for the truth of what he says; and
draws examples from the vegetable world, to show how soon the
wicked may be cut off, and the hope of the hypocrite perish,
8-19.
Asserts that God never did cast of a perfect man nor help the
wicked; and that, if Job be innocent, his end shall be crowned
with prosperity, 20-22.
