Joe: Alright, so, let's talk about Job 8.

Bible Expert: Sure, in Job 8 we meet Bildad the Shuhite. He's one of Job's friends who comes to comfort him, but his words are really harsh. He is basically saying that Job is being punished for his sins, and he is trying to make Job feel guilty for what he's going through.

Joe: Wow, that's pretty intense.

Bible Expert: Yeah, it certainly is. He also goes on to say that if Job repents and turns back to God, then God will restore him.

Joe: Interesting. So, what else happens in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, after Bildad's speech, Job responds to him and essentially defends himself. He talks about how he knows that God is just and that he can't be bought off with sacrifices. He also talks about how he knows that God has the power to restore him and that he will not forget his plight.

Joe: Wow, Job sounds like he really has faith in God.

Bible Expert: He certainly does. Job also talks about how he knows that God will not cast him away forever, and that his hope is not in vain. He also talks about how he will keep his integrity and not turn away from God, no matter what happens.

Joe: That's really inspiring. Thanks for breaking down this chapter for us.
