Contextual Overview

1And Zophar the Naamathite answers and says:2"Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified? 3Your boastings make men keep silent, || You scorn, and none is causing blushing! 4And you say, My discourse [is] pure, || And I have been clean in Your eyes. 5And yet, O that God had spoken! And opens His lips with you. 6And declares to you secrets of wisdom, for counsel has foldings. And know that God forgets of your iniquity for you.

Isaiah 19:18
In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, || Speaking the lip of Canaan, || And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, || "The city of destruction," is said of one.
Zephaniah 3:9
For then I turn a pure lip to peoples, || To call all of them by the Name of YHWH, || To serve Him [with] one shoulder.
Acts 2:6
and the rumor of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were, each one, hearing them speaking in his proper dialect,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite,.... The third of Job's friends, that came to visit him, :-; and who perhaps might be the youngest, since his turn was to speak last; and he appears to have less modesty and prudence, and more fire and heat in him; than his other friends; though he might be the more irritated by observing, that their arguments were baffled by Job, and had no manner of effect on him, to cause him to recede from his first sentiments and conduct:

and said; as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XI

Zophar answers Job, and reproves him severely for his attempts

to justify himself; charges him with secret iniquity, and

contends that God inflicts less punishment on him than his

iniquities deserve, 1-6.

Shows the knowledge and perfections of God to be unsearchable,

and that none can resist his power, 7-11.

Warns him against vanity of mind, and exhorts him to repentance

on the ground that his acceptance with God is still a possible

case, and that his latter days may yet become happy and

prosperous, 12-20.

NOTES ON CHAP. XI

Verse Job 11:1. Zophar the Naamathite — Of this man and his friends, see Job 2:11. He is the most inveterate of Job's accusers, and generally speaks without feeling or pity. In sour godliness he excelled all the rest. This chapter and the twentieth comprehends all that he said. He was too crooked to speak much in measured verse.
