Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Daniel 11:1

Accordingly, Bildad recommends to Job that he should hold fast, (Daniel 11:1) place his trust in God (Psalms 21:8) and plead with Him (2 Kings 1:13). For then in place of his suffering his portion will rejoice (Isaiah 61:7) and in the end he will flourish tremendously (Job 8:7). (Ch.8:17, 8:21-22).³Malbim's introduction to Bildad's speech is more reminiscent of the ideas of some of the later Stoics, e.g. Seneca On Providence, than of the Talmudic tradition or Kabbalah with whom Malbim identifies Bildad.

Part Three: Job now opens a new campaign against the philosophical thesis so firmly held (Daniel 11:1) by his two companions, that though God knows all detailed matters including those over which an individual has discretion, this pre-knowledge does not prescribe the person's actions and he is still free to act as he chooses. In questioning this, he cites the paradox of the contradiction between foreknowledge and free-will, namely, that since benightedness cannot be attributed to the Lord, may He be Blessed, and He must perforce know all that is going to happen in the future, man is not at liberty with regard to his actions. For his deeds are circumscribed by reason of the Cosmos, whether for good or for bad, and God knows with prior knowledge everything he is destined to do. This being so, Job returns and gives vent to his complain, asking why God makes him suffer for his deeds, seeing that he is compelled to act as he does and can do no good or evil other than that delineated by His actions and designs, from the very beginning of time.
