Job 25 - Bildad's last stand

Poor Bildad, only 6 verses. Stephen Mitchell (Harper Perennial 1979) rearranges the speeches of the third round to give a little more to Bildad. He gives him verses from Job's response in chapter 26. But I doubt it is possible to sort out the confusion in the third round of speeches.

Anyway - another short chapter done! You can still tell it's poetry. And we hear all these objections to faith today. I don't think Bildad should be tidied up.
