“If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;”
Bildad notes that if Job's children sinned against God, then God sent them away because of their transgression, suggesting that the death of Job's children was punishment for their sin. The assertion transforms the loss of the children from a cosmic test into a moral consequence. Bildad's application of this logic to Job's own situation becomes implicit in the following verses.
