I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Job 8, Bildad was the second of Job's friends who accused him. Bildad the Shuhite spoke to Job, accusing him of evil (1). He said that God did not pervert judgment and justice; therefore, Job's children (who perished) must have been transgressors. And, said Bildad, if Job would seek God and plead with him, and if he were pure and upright, God would prosper him and make his end greater than his beginning (2-7). Bildad told Job to search the wisdom of the former age and he would learn the truth (8-10). And, said Bildad, those hypocrites who forget God perish like the papyrus or the reed which perish before other plants. Their hope is as flimsy as a spider's web. Such flimsy hope cannot be leaned upon, nor can it be taken hold of (11-15). Bildad then switches metaphors, comparing Job to a green plant (probably a tree, or perhaps vines, or weeds). He notes that such a plant might be green before (literally, in the face of) the sun, and it may have its roots wrapped securely around stones, but if it is destroyed from its place the place will not remember it, and other plants will take its place (16-19). But, says Bildad, God will not cast away a perfect man, nor will he help evil men. But, (if Job will repent), God will fill his mouth with shouts of laughter; and those wicked ones who hate him will be clothed with shame; and their tents will be no more (20-22).

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
