Job 26
1 Job, reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad,
5 acknowledges the power of God to be infinite and unsearchable.
[How has thou.]
Bildad had produced no argument to refute Job's doctrine; and therefore Job ironically admires the assistance which Bildad had given to his friends in their extremity, and the instruction he had afforded him in his perplexity.
