JOB 11

ZOPHAR SHARES HIS OPINION

As Job’s friends speak to him, each offers a harsher opinion of Job’s fate. Job’s friend Zophar now offers his opinion. Zophar rebukes Job for claiming to be upright and blameless and believes that Job is getting less judgment from God than he deserves, saying that the evil are short-lived.

Zophar tells Job that if he repents, God can restore his health and his blessings. Although Zophar understands God’s response to repentance and mercy, he blames Job for his unfortunate reality.
