Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Job 8

Job 8:1-22—(5) First discourse of Bildad: he thinks Job a hypocrite.

Job 8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Bildad

Bildad is a religious dogmatist of the superficial kind, whose dogmatism rests upon tradition (e.g. Job 8:8-10) and upon proverbial wisdom and approved pious phrases. These abound in all his discourses. His platitudes are true enough, but then every one knows them (Job 9:1, 2; 13:2), nor do they shed any light on such a problem as Job's.

Job 8:3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

Doth God pervert judgment?

Job 34:12, 17; Gen 18:25; Deu 32:4; 2Ch 19:7; Dan 9:14; Rom 3:5.

Job 8:9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

we are but of yesterday

Job 7:6; Gen 47:9; 1Ch 29:15; Psa 39:5; 102:11; 144:4.

the hypocrite's hope shall perish

Job 11:20; 18:14; 27:8; Psa 112:10; Pro 10:28.

Job 8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.

Job 8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
