“He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.”
Bildad describes that the godless is green before the sun and that their shoots spread over a garden, suggesting an initial appearance of flourishing and success. The image of greenness and spreading suggests that the wicked may temporarily appear to prosper. Yet the context makes clear that this initial appearance is deceptive.
