Commentary on Job 8:3
Bildad asks rhetorically: 'Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?' The verb avat (עָוַת, pervert) means to twist, distort, or make crooked. Mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט, judgment) and tsedeq (צֶדֶק, justice) both relate to righteousness and right decisions. Bildad's questions demand negative answers: God cannot pervert justice. This theological truth is unassailable—God is perfectly just. However, Bildad uses this truth to conclude that Job's suffering must be deserved, an invalid inference that confuses divine justice with human understanding of it.
