SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:2
¿Hasta cuándo hablarás tales cosas, y las palabras de tu boca serán como un viento fuerte?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 8:2
Verse 2. How long wilt thou speak these things? ] Wilt thou still go on to charge God foolishly? Thy heavy affliction proves that thou art under his wrath; and his wrath, thus manifested, proves that it is for thy sins that he punisheth thee. Be like a strong wind? ] The Arabic, with which the Syriac agrees, is (Syriac) rucholazomati, the spirit of pride. Wilt thou continue to breathe forth a tempest of words? This is more literal.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Job spake much to the purpose; but Bildad, like an eager, angr disputant, turns it all off with this, How long wilt thou speak thes things? Men's meaning is not taken aright, and then they are rebuked as if they were evil-doers. Even in disputes on religion, it is to common to treat others with sharpness, and their arguments with contempt. Bildad's discourse shows that he had not a favourable opinio of Job's character. Job owned that God did not pervert judgment; yet i did not therefore follow that his children were cast-aways, or tha they did for some great transgression. Extraordinary afflictions ar not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, sometimes they are the trials of extraordinary graces: in judging of another's case, we ough to take the favorable side. Bildad puts Job in hope, that if he wer indeed upright, he should yet see a good end of his present troubles This is God's way of enriching the souls of his people with graces an comforts. The beginning is small, but the progress is to perfection Dawning light grows to noon-day.
