“If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.”
Bildad promises that if Job is pure and upright, then surely God will rouse himself for him and restore his habitation in righteousness. The conditional 'if' reveals Bildad's underlying doubt about Job's righteousness; the promise depends upon a condition he seems not to believe Job fulfills. Yet the promise of restoration offers a vision of hope if Job can demonstrate his purity.
