Contextual Overview

1 Then aunswered Sophar the Naamathite, and saide: 2 For the same cause do my thoughtes compell me to aunswere, and therefore, make haste. 3 I haue sufficiently heard the checking of my reproofe, therefore the spirite of myne vnderstanding causeth me to aunswere. 4 Knowest thou not this of olde, and since God plaged man vpon earth, 5 That the gladnesse of the vngodlie hath ben short, and that the ioy of hypocrites continued but the twinckling of an eye? 6 Though he be magnified vp to the heauen, so that his head reacheth vnto the cloudes: 7 Yet at a turne he perisheth for euer, insomuch that they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is he? 8 He shall vanishe as a dreame, so that he can no more be founde, and shal passe away as a vision in the night. 9 So that the eye which sawe him before, shal haue no more sight of him, and his place shall know him no more.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite,.... Notwithstanding the sad distressed condition Job was in, an account of which is given in the preceding chapter, enough to pierce a heart of stone, notwithstanding his earnest request to his friends to have pity on him, and notwithstanding the noble confession of his faith he had made, which showed him to be a good man, and the excellent advice he gave his friends to cease persecuting him, for their own good, as well as for his peace; yet, regardless of these things, Zophar starts up and makes a reply, and attacks him with as much heat and passion, wrath and anger, as ever, harping upon the same string, and still representing Job as a wicked man and an hypocrite;

and said, as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XX

Zophar answers Job, and largely details the wretchedness of

the wicked and the hypocrite; shows that the rejoicing of

such is short and transitory, 1-9.

That he is punished in his family and in his person, 10-14.

That he shall be stripped of his ill-gotten wealth, and shall

be in misery, though in the midst of affluence, 15-23.

He shall at last die a violent death, and his family and

property be finally destroyed, 24-29.
