except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die."
When the palace officials saw her, they sang her praises to Pharaoh, their king, and Sarai was taken into his palace.
But the Lord sent terrible plagues upon Pharaoh and his household because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Abraham moved south to the Negev and lived for a while between Kadesh and Shur, and then he moved on to Gerar. While living there as a foreigner,
Abraham introduced his wife, Sarah, by saying, "She is my sister." So King Abimelech of Gerar sent for Sarah and had her brought to him at his palace.
But that night God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, "You are a dead man, for that woman you have taken is already married!"
But Abimelech had not slept with her yet, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?
Didn't Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister'? And she herself said, ‘Yes, he is my brother.' I acted in complete innocence! My hands are clean."
In the dream God responded, "Yes, I know you are innocent. That's why I kept you from sinning against me, and why I did not let you touch her.
Then Abimelech called for Abraham. "What have you done to us?" he demanded. "What crime have I committed that deserves treatment like this, making me and my kingdom guilty of this great sin? No one should ever do what you have done!
Gill's Notes on the Bible
[Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung,.... Not only in this world, but in the world to come, both in his outward substance here, and in his body in the grave, and in his soul to all eternity, and that in the most shameful and disgraceful manner; he shall perish in his own corruption, and like his own dung inevitably, which is never returned to its place again: dead bodies were reckoned by the ancients as dung, and the carcasses of men are rather to be cast out than dung i; and the Arabians used, to bury in dunghills even their kings k; to which some l think the allusion is:
they which have seen him shall say, where [is] he? such as formerly gazed at him, in his prosperity, with wonder and amazement at his grandeur and greatness, now being removed from his outward splendour, or from the world, by death, ask where he is, not being able to see him in his former lustre, nor in the land of the living; see Job 14:10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 20:7. He shall perish for ever — He is dust, and shall return to the dust from which he was taken. Zophar here hints his disbelief in that doctrine, the resurrection of the body, which Job had so solemnly asserted in the preceding chapter. Or he might have been like some in the present day, who believe that the wicked shall be annihilated, and the bodies of the righteous only be raised from the dead; but I know of no scripture by which such a doctrine is confirmed.
Like his own dung — His reputation shall be abominable, and his putrid carcass shall resemble his own excrement. A speech that partakes as much of the malevolence as of the asperity of Zophar's spirit.
