1-4:  Job, reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad,
5-14:  acknowledges the power of God to be infinite and unsearchable.
Job 26:1• 1But Job answered and said, (Job 26:1)
• {Ch.26} Viewed from the personal standpoint, Job’s reply is adequate and conclusive. He declares that Bildad’s words, in the present circumstances, are utterly beside the mark. They do not touch Job’s case. He then continues in the lines of his friend’s words, and mounts even higher than he had, taking also a deeper and wider view of the greatness of God. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
• The futility of Bildad’s words (vers. 1-4). (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
