Job 8
1. Bildad shows God's justice in dealing with men according to their works.
8. He alleges antiquity to prove the certain destruction of the hypocrite.
20. He applies God's just dealing to Job.














Your enemies
The term "enemies" in this context refers to those who oppose or stand against the righteous. In the Hebrew text, the word used is "שֹׂנְאֶיךָ" (sonecha), which implies not just personal adversaries but also those who are against God's justice and righteousness. Historically, enemies in the biblical narrative often symbolize forces of chaos and opposition to divine order. This phrase reassures the faithful that those who oppose them are ultimately opposing God, and thus, their defeat is assured.

will be clothed in shame
The imagery of being "clothed in shame" is powerful, suggesting a complete and visible covering of disgrace. In ancient Near Eastern culture, clothing was a significant indicator of one's status and honor. To be "clothed in shame" implies a total reversal of fortune and status, where one's dishonor is made public and undeniable. The Hebrew word for shame, "בֹּשֶׁת" (boshet), often conveys a sense of public humiliation and disgrace. This phrase serves as a reminder that those who act wickedly will ultimately face divine justice, and their shame will be evident to all.

and the tents of the wicked
"Tents" in this context symbolize the dwelling places and, by extension, the lives and legacies of the wicked. In the nomadic culture of the ancient Near East, tents were not just physical structures but represented one's household and livelihood. The "wicked," or "רְשָׁעִים" (resha'im) in Hebrew, are those who live in opposition to God's laws and principles. This phrase suggests that the very foundations and structures of the wicked's lives are unstable and temporary.

will be no more
The phrase "will be no more" indicates total destruction and obliteration. In the Hebrew text, the word "אֵינֶנּוּ" (einennu) conveys a sense of non-existence or disappearance. This is a prophetic declaration of the ultimate fate of the wicked, emphasizing the transient nature of their power and influence. In a broader scriptural context, this serves as a warning and a comfort: a warning to those who live wickedly that their actions lead to ruin, and a comfort to the righteous that evil will not prevail indefinitely.

Verse 22. - They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame (comp. Psalm 35:26); and the dwelling-place (literally, tent, or tabernacle) of the wicked shall come to nought (literally, shall not be). The words are involved and obscure, because Bildad does not wish to make his meaning plain. He has to invent phrases which may cut both ways, and, while they seem directed against Job's enemies, may pain and wound Job himself.
