[Job 17](/study/job/17) [Job 19](/study/job/19) ## Commentary To verse 1 CHAP. XVIII. *Bildad accuses Job of presumption and impatience: he shews that the light of the wicked shall be put out; that brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation, and that none of his posterity shall survive.* *Before Christ 1645.* ***[Job 18:1](/kjv/job/18/1)*****.*****Then answered Bildad the Shuhite*****—** Bildad, irritated to the last degree that Job should treat their advice with so much contempt, is no longer able to keep his passions within the bounds of decency. He proceeds to downright abuse; and, finding little attention given by Job to his arguments, he tries to terrify him into a compliance. To that end, he draws a yet more terrible picture of the final end of a wicked man than any preceding, throwing in all the circumstances of Job's calamities, that he might plainly perceive the resemblance; and, at the same time, insinuating that he had much worse still to expect, unless he prevented it by a speedy change of behaviour: Job 18:2 to the end; that it was the highest arrogance in him to suppose that he was of consequence enough to be the cause of altering the general rules of Providence: Job 18:4 and that it was much more expedient for the good of the whole, that he, by his example, should deter others from treading in the same path of wickedness and folly: [Job 18:5-7](/kjv/job/18/5-7).
