“If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;”
Bildad encourages Job to seek God early and make supplication to the Almighty, suggesting that the appropriate response to suffering is contrition and prayer. The recommendation to seek God presupposes that Job has become estranged from the Divine through some form of wrongdoing. Bildad's counsel positions the path to restoration as beginning with humble petition.
