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.
