A gin shall take him by the heels. A snare shall lay hold on him . . . Terrors shall make him afraid on every side . . . He shall have neither . . 18 : 5-19. [68] AN OLD-TIME PICTURE What could be more rasping to Job than such a worse-than-direct denunciation? Every hne breathes the spirit of vindictiveness. Most likely Ehphaz and Bildad had agreed beforehand on the best way to torment the proud spirit of the old poet by whom they had been defeated in many previous contests. A better opportunit...y they cannot expect to have, now that the hand of God is upon him.

'' No worse calamity could befall a native of Palestine than to be childless. You hear it said everywhere in Syria, " One's happiness consists in the number of children he has. " A childless person is pitied by every body, and on every occasion when a good wish is not considered 159] M^swm OUR MAN OF PATIENCE out of place you hear people say, ** We hope that God will send him a son/' Even if he offer a glass of water to a passerby, the glass will be returned with the almost too- frequent wish, ^' We hope that God will send you a son/' In a land such as Palestine where mar- riage is looked forward to as the chief occasion of one's happiness, and where wedding festivities sometimes continue for a whole week during which old and young participate in eating, drinking and singing, and where the son is called the staff upon which the father leans in his last days, — in such a land it is no marvel that an impUed imprecation like Bil- dad's should have stabbed Job through the heart.
