Job 20:1–29 In his second response, Zophar expresses frustration at Job’s continued belief that God has brought about his suffering but will ultimately vindicate him (vv. 2–3). Zophar then describes the life of the wicked, implying that Job is himself such a person (vv. 4–29).
Job 20:3 censure that insults me. Zophar may be referring to Job’s response to his previous speech. Job had sarcastically criticized his friends and claimed that he was not their inferior (see 12:2–3).
Job 20:6–7 Zophar warns Job that whatever height a wicked man may have achieved will not change the fact that, when his end comes, it will be quick and complete.
Job 20:10–21 Zophar argues that neither the wicked man (vv. 12–19) nor his offspring (v. 10) will enjoy what he has acquired, because he has gained it through taking advantage of the weak (vv. 19–21). Instead, his children will be forced to beg from the poor (v. 10), who were some of the very people their father mistreated to gain his wealth (v. 19).
Job 20:27 Zophar wrongly assumes that Job’s circumstances on earth are a transparent indicator of his guilt before God in the heavens.
