BRAGADAYJAH 1254
“While it [the reference is to the “flag” or reed mentioned earlier.] is yet in its greenness and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb; so all the paths of all that forget God, and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish, whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web. He shall lean upon his house; but it shall not stand; he shall hold it fast but; it shall not endure. He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in the garden; his roots are wrapped about the heap. And seeth the place of stones. If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him saying I have not seen thee. Behold this is the joy of his way; and out the mouth of a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers. Till he fills thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. Comment: So far we have heard Eliphaz and then Job and now Bildad. What erudition and scholarly speechifying by these men of old! From whence, one may ask came their penchant for poetic sagacity and philosophy? From whence came their great wisdom, erudition and learning? Hopefully tomorrow we will see Job’s reply.
