His friend Bildad speaks. One of the first things he says is that he says is that Job is blustering like a wind. If I were Job, I would get different friends.
Bildad makes the point that God will restore him if Job has integrity. He also says that people wither and die if they are cut off from God. Is Bildad implying that Job is cut off from God and that is why this happened? I think so.
Job responds in chapter 9. He outlines the impossibility of trying to prove oneself innocent before God. So, again, the discussion between Job and his friends is about whether or not Job is innocent.
