Bildad might aim at this, because Job was a man of a full and vast estate, the richest and greatest of all the men in the East; as if he had said, Job, thou hast leaned upon thy outward abundance, upon thy sheep and oxen, upon thy children and servants, and now thou findest all but a spiders web, swept away in a moment. Yet (I conceive) he means rather a house built of heavenly materials. And there are three sorts of heavenly materials, out of which the hypocrite builds his house.
1. Gifts: he hath knowledge and understanding in the word and ways of God, the gift of prayer, the gift (it may be) of tongues, of prophecy and preaching. These are excellent materials, and upon these he builds his trust, that he is in a good estate.

The second sort of materials, are holy duties, he prays, he hears, he fasteth, and he gives alms, and the like; These he doth, and out of these materials he builds his house, very strongly he hopes.
