Job 25 — Bildad’s Final, Extremely Brief Speech on God’s Greatness and Man’s Smallness

Bildad speaks only a few verses, emphasizing God’s holiness and humanity’s impurity. He insists that no man can be righteous before God. While the theology is true in part, he again misapplies it. Bildad assumes that because humans are small, Job must be guilty. He cannot imagine that a righteous person could suffer unjustly. This chapter teaches that correct doctrine used in the wrong context becomes harmful. Bildad’s speech also highlights the limitations of the friends—they cannot comfort Job, only condemn him.
