Job, reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad5. acknowledges the power of God to be infinite and unsearchable Then The word "then" serves as a transitional marker, indicating a response or a continuation of a dialogue. In the context of the Book of Job, this word signifies a pivotal moment where Job is about to respond to the speeches of his friends. It highlights the ongoing discourse and the dynamic nature of the conversation. Historically, this dialogue format is consistent with ancient Near Eastern wisdom literature, where dialogues were used to explore deep philosophical and theological questions. Job answered (1) Then answered Job.--Job himself has virtually said much the same as Bildad (Job 9:2; Job 14:4), so he makes no further comment on his remarks here, but merely asks how he has helped him thereby, or others like him in a weak and helpless condition. Verses 1, 2. - But Job answered and said, How hast thou helped him that is without power? Assuming Bildad's benevolent intentions towards himself, Job asks, how he can suppose that what he has said will in any way be helpful to a person in so helpless a condition? He had told Job nothing that Job had not repeatedly allowed. How savest thou the arm that hath no strengtht? It could not invigorate Job's arm, any more than it could cheer his heart, to be told that man was a worm, or that he was wholly unclean in God's sight (Job 25:4, 6).Parallel Commentaries ...
