“He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?”
"You who tear yourself in your anger—shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?" Bildad suggests that Job's rage is impotent. His anger cannot alter the cosmic order; the earth will not be forsaken for him, nor will rocks be moved. The verse implies that Job's emotional intensity is irrelevant to the order of things.
