Job 18:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 18:13
Disease consumes the wicked: 'It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.' The 'firstborn of death'—a vivid personification—suggests death's most powerful agent, perhaps disease. This describes Job's actual condition (skin disease). Bildad cruelly uses Job's symptoms as evidence for his theology. Yet disease afflicts righteous and wicked alike (Ecclesiastes 9:11). Suffering's presence doesn't indicate cause.
