Bildad
Bildad speaks again. It is the last time the three friends are heard, and his remarks are few. He seems to have felt the uselessness of saving anything more about Job's character; in fact about everything bad that the three could have thought to accuse the poor man of, had been said already.
Bildad's last speech is not about Job at all, nor does it apply to his case, although all he said was true. God is exalted, and the question unanswerable until the work of Christ in making atonement for sins upon the cross is asked, "How should man be just before God?" The answer is found in Romans 3:21-2621But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (Romans 3:21‑26).
Job had asked the same question (chapter 9:2), and gone into it very fully, but he could not give the answer. The three friends had entirely failed to meet the needs of poor tried and deeply suffering Job. They had only tried to fasten wickedness on him, of which he had not been guilty, because they had decided that his having been brought into such sore distress must have been the judgment of God on him. It was not what they thought at all. He was nearer to God than they who judged him.
