Now Job's other friend, Bildad, starts talking to Job. He says that his children must have sinned and deserved to be punished. Job again pleads his innocence and says it's impossible to prove it because he can't go to court against God. He mentions how innocent people die in plagues (well, worse, he claims that God laughs at the death of the innocent), and how innocent and wicked people are the same to God. Now Job is left wondering why he was even born. =(
I like Job's honesty in his prayers to God. He is truly confused and seeking to know what he did wrong. And he's outrightly questioning God.
