Job 8:1–7, “Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.”
Bildad was getting tired of Job’s attempts to defend himself. He believed that the Lord was punishing Job for some sin that he had committed and wanted Job to admit that he was at fault. He accused Job of just speaking and making wind with his mouth. Today we would call that "blowing hot air". His basic question was, “Is God unjust?” He believed that Job was accusing the Lord of causing this suffering even though Job was innocent. After all, God wouldn’t make an innocent man suffer, would He?
