“They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.”
Bildad concludes that those who hate Job will be clothed with shame and that the tent of the wicked will be no more, suggesting that Job's enemies and all who deny God's justice will be destroyed. The promise of the destruction of the wicked offers an implicit reassurance that justice will ultimately prevail. Yet Bildad's entire speech has left the fundamental question unanswered: why does the innocent suffer now?
