Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite,.... Not to what Job had just now delivered, in order to disprove that, that men, guilty of the grossest crimes, often go unpunished in this life, and prosper and succeed, and die in peace and quietness, as other men; either because he was convinced of the truth of what he had said, or else because he thought he was an obstinate man, and that it was best to let him alone, and say no more to him, since there was no likelihood of working any conviction on him; wherefore he only tries to possess his mind of the greatness and majesty of God, in order to deter him from applying to God in a judicial way, and expecting redress and relief from him;
and said; as follows.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXV Bildad, the Shuhite, in an irregular speech, shows that God's
dominion is supreme, his armies innumerable, and his providence
extended over all, 1-3; that man cannot be justified before God; that even the heavenly
bodies cannot be reputed pure in his sight; much less man, who
is naturally weak and sinful, 4-6.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXV
Verse Job 25:1. Bildad the Shuhite — This is the last attack on Job; the others felt themselves foiled, though they had not humility enough to acknowledge it, but would not again return to the attack. Bildad has little to say, and that little is very little to the point. He makes a few assertions, particularly in reference to what Job had said in the commencement of the preceding chapter, of his desire to appear before God, and have his case tried by him, as he had the utmost confidence that his innocence should be fully proved. For this Bildad reprehends Job with arguments which had been brought forth often in this controversy, and as repeatedly confuted, Job 4:18; Job 15:14-16.
