SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:20

ΒΆ He aquí, Dios no aborrece al perfecto, ni toma la mano de los malignos.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 8:20

Verse 20. Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man ] This is another of the maxims of the ancients, which Bildad produces: "As sure as he will punish and root out the wicked, so surely will he defend and save the righteous."

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-22 - Bildad here assures Job, that as he was so he should fare; therefor they concluded, that as he fared so he was. God will not cast away a upright man; he may be cast down for a time, but he shall not be cas away for ever. Sin brings ruin on persons and families. Yet to argue that Job was an ungodly, wicked man, was unjust and uncharitable. The mistake in these reasonings arose from Job's friends not distinguishin between the present state of trial and discipline, and the future stat of final judgment. May we choose the portion, possess the confidence bear the cross, and die the death of the righteous; and, in the mea time, be careful neither to wound others by rash judgments, nor to distress ourselves needlessly about the opinions of ou fellow-creatures __________________________________________________________________
