Commentary on Job 8:5
Bildad's counsel 'if thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty' assumes Job hasn't already done so. The conditional 'if' adds insult to injury, implying Job's prayerlessness caused his calamity. Well-meaning advice becomes cruelty when it misunderstands the situation.
