Job Chapter 18 Discussion

The only place in Job where the plural you is used to one person. Perhaps Bildad was speaking to Job AND his two friends here.

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Regardless of the pain, they still need to hear words of encouragement

i think the gist of this chapter is to show how NOT to comfort the afflicted - in other words, let the sufferer spout off their complaints and don 't get into a philosophical discussion with someone who is screaming in pain..ie.. "don 't scream in pain, it 's very unbecoming "
