Job 8:1-22
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: How long will you say such things? Your words are a blustering wind. Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
For we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.
Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless.
Surely God does not reject one who is blameless or strengthen the hands of evildoers. He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked will be no more.”
Eliphaz had begun gently. Bildad takes a firmer line as Job's words grow wilder. God is just. He rewards the good and punishes the wicked. Bildad's words are salt to an open wound.
Why?
The Almighty always right, but people do not understand the way of the Lord.
History teaches us many things and justice, but it is not enough to guess the way of the Lord.
It is the truth that God does not reject the one who is blameless.
Bildad's words are salt to an open wound.

比樂達認為是約伯兒女犯罪。這些忘記神的人好像倚靠蜘蛛網。他們的快樂很短暫,很快會被其他人取代。
以簡化的善惡觀來批判約伯,例如列祖的罪。興旺發達是行善的成果,不興旺發達就是不蒙神喜悅的人。
不敬畏神、忘記神的人就是一般人占據一堆資源,想拿到更多的,如藤蔓盤繞,但是沒有下根於該處。以後必有種子從地而生,隱藏在地裏。
終久:顯然是短暫的,如果比較長的時間,目前短暫的苦就不算什麼。
約伯開始就說賞賜的是耶和華、收取的也是耶和華。約伯早已經說出答案,只是在苦難中不知道神為何讓他受苦,他希望早日脫離這個這些痛苦。

How?
Be humble and keep silent before the suffering man.
