In these chapters, we hear the last of the speeches from Job’s three counselors, specifically Bildad. Then Job responds with many words. In chapter 28, he asks where true wisdom comes from pointing to the fact that man can dig deep into the earth and locate precious metals, but true wisdom eludes him. This wisdom can only be found by fearing the Lord and departing from evil. In spite of all the charges made against him by the three men, Job continues to defend himself saying that the cause of his suffering and loss was not the result of his wrongdoing.
