Job 11:1–20 Like Bildad (8:1–22), Zophar accuses Job of being presumptuous and speaking empty words.
Job 11:7 There is irony in this verse that Zophar will realize only during the events of the epilogue (42:7–9). Zophar accuses Job of wrongly thinking he can know the deep things of God, but it is Zophar who is presuming to know God’s purposes in Job’s suffering.
Job 11:12 Zophar says the path of the stupid man will never lead to understanding. He calls Job to turn away from insisting he is in the right and instead seek God in prayer and repentance (vv. 13–20).
