Job asks an important question: how can a person be justified before God? Does a person have such a possibility before the face of the One with whom no creature can be compared and whose ways surpass all understanding? No one can stand before the judgment of the All-knowing One, who sees the sinner's heart better than the sinner himself does, and no one's judgment is perfect before His judgment, including Bildad's judgment.

For some reason Job's friends very quickly forgot that just recently Job had a reputation as a righteous man. As soon as calamities fell on him, those around him were ready to search out his offenses without mentioning his good deeds at all. In truth, this is a banal story repeated from century to century. But "do not judge, that you may not be judged; for with the judgment you judge, you will be judged" (Matt. 7:1-2).
