Verse 15 is found in chapter 8 of Job. Bildad uses images of plants, spiderwebs, and houses being uprooted to describe the fragility of those who forget God. He also states that God can restore the person who seeks his favor. The speech retains an important conviction about the stability of divine justice, but cannot explain Job’s case without turning tragedy into evidence of guilt.
