Job 18

Summary: Bildad responds again to Job, claiming that the suffering of the wicked is the way of the world and chastising his friend for wanting to pervert justice to save his own skin. 

Response: He kind of goes at this in reverse, asking Job if he wants to change the rules first and then describing what he thinks the rules actually are. As I've discussed in previous weeks, though, it seems to me that there are just as many cases of wicked people prospering on earth as suffering, much as our TV morals would like us to think. Lord, keep my focus on the needs of those around me.
