Please read Job 26. Job is speaking.

Meditate on verses 1-4.
Then Job responded, "What a help you are to the weak!
How you have saved the arm without strength!
What counsel you have given to one without wisdom!
What helpful insight you have abundantly provided!
To whom have you uttered words?
And whose spirit was expressed through you?”
Job answered Bildad with his own sarcasm: “A lot of help you are!” And, he expressed concern Bildad spoke from a demonic spirit because his words did not reflect God’s Spirit (v. 4). Thankfully, we don’t have to listen to any more of Bildad, Zophar, and Eliphaz’s words; their discourses ended with Bildad’s maggot and worm spiel (Job 25:6).
Most of Job’s words in this chapter are about God (vs. 6-14). Pray Job 26:7-14 to God as His faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, You stretch out the north over empty space
and hang the earth on nothing. You wrap up the waters in Your
clouds, and the cloud does not burst under them.
You obscure the face of the full moon and spread Your
cloud over it. You have inscribed a circle on the surface of
the waters at the boundary of light and darkness.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are amazed at Your
rebuke. You quiet the sea with Your power, and by
Your understanding, You shattered Rahab
(pride and arrogance1). By Your breath the heavens are
cleared; Your hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.
Behold, these are the fringes of Your ways, and
how faint a word we hear of You!
But Your mighty thunder, who can understand?
I am in awe of You, Jesus~”
