John Trapp on Job 8:1

CHAP. VIII. Verſe 1. Then anſwered Bildad the Shuhite, and ſaid]

BIldad (who was of the poſterity of Shuah Abrahams ſon by Keturah, Gen. 25.1, 2.) interrupteth Job, and indeavours to maintain what Eliphaz had ſpoken: Nevertheleſs it appeareth by this chapter, verſe 5, 6, 20, 21. that his opinion was not ſo rigid, as that of Eliphaz: for he grants that a righteous man may be afflicted, but yet ſo, that if God reſtore him not ſpeedily, he may be cenſured, caſt and condemned as unrighteous. He paſſeth (as they do all) ſome hard cenſures upon Job; and is paid in his own coyn by him: who ſaith, that he was according to his name, a wicked kinſman: for [non-Latin text not transcribed] is naught, and [non-Latin text not transcribed] an Uncle. With what judgment men judg, they ſhall be judged. Mat. 7 2.
