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.
