Job 20 |
King James Version
The listed verse explanations of the individual persons have nothing to do with the explanations of the other persons. This also applies to the Bible translations.
Job 20:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Zophar speaks of the short joy of the wicked
Savors discourse is upon the certain misery of the wicked. The triumph of the wicked and the joy of the hypocrite are fleeting. The pleasures and gains of sin bring disease and pain; they end in remorse, anguish, and ruin. Dissembled piety is double iniquity, and the ruin that attends it will be accordingly.

1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,2Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I make haste.3I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.4Knowest thou [not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth,5That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment?6Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;7[Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he?8He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.9The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
In this passage Zophar speaks impudently and seriously insults Job. By scorning him, as the other two friends had already done, Zophar also defamed him for the following reason. After the beginning, after human beings came into existence, they felt “joy” and happiness in the fall “of the impious” and the “destruction of the iniquitous.” Zophar wants to include Job among them as well, according to what he says afterwards. Actually, forgetting that great number of people, Zophar addresses his words to a single person. - "Homilies on Job 24.20.5"

Job 20:10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
The ruin of the wicked
The miserable condition of the wicked man in this world is fully set forth. The lusts of the flesh are here called the sins of his youth. His hiding it and keeping it under his tongue, denotes concealment of his beloved lust, and delight therein. But He who knows what is in the heart, knows what is under the tongue, and will discover it. The love of the world, and of the wealth of it, also is wickedness, and man sets his heart upon these. Also violence and injustice, these sins bring God’s judgments upon nations and families. Observe the punishment of the wicked man for these things. Sin is turned into gall, than which nothing is more bitter; it will prove to him poison; so will all unlawful gains be. In his fullness he shall be in straits, through the anxieties of his own mind. To be led by the sanctifying grace of God to restore what was unjustly gotten, as Zacchaeus was, is a great mercy. But to be forced to restore by the horrors of a despairing conscience, as Judas was, has no benefit and comfort attending it.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
This means that their ruin comes suddenly, so that you may not believe that their calamity comes from a natural condition but that it is in accordance with a divine and extraordinary power. Moreover, this concerns not only their crimes but also their sacrifices. If they offer any, they turn out to be useless. “Let his inferiors,” Zophar says, “destroy his children.” This sentence also demonstrates clearly that the blow comes from God, because inferior people prevail on those who are stronger, and those who are outcast prevail on those who have power. - "Commentary on Job 8–10"

Job 20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
The ruin of the wicked
The miserable condition of the wicked man in this world is fully set forth. The lusts of the flesh are here called the sins of his youth. His hiding it and keeping it under his tongue, denotes concealment of his beloved lust, and delight therein. But He who knows what is in the heart, knows what is under the tongue, and will discover it. The love of the world, and of the wealth of it, also is wickedness, and man sets his heart upon these. Also violence and injustice, these sins bring God’s judgments upon nations and families. Observe the punishment of the wicked man for these things. Sin is turned into gall, than which nothing is more bitter; it will prove to him poison; so will all unlawful gains be. In his fullness he shall be in straits, through the anxieties of his own mind. To be led by the sanctifying grace of God to restore what was unjustly gotten, as Zacchaeus was, is a great mercy. But to be forced to restore by the horrors of a despairing conscience, as Judas was, has no benefit and comfort attending it.

“They will not rejoice on the division of the rivers, the streams flowing with honey and curds.” These words mean that those rivers were divided on Mount Calvary, and the streams derived from the rivers signify the gifts of the Spirit communicated by the revelation of the Gospel. - "Commentary on Job 20.17"

The portion of the wicked
Zophar, having described the vexations which attend wicked practices, shows their ruin from God’s wrath. There is no fence against this, but in Christ, who is the only Covert from the storm and tempest, [Isa 32:2]. Zophar concludes, “This is the portion of a wicked man from God;” it is allotted him. Never was any doctrine better explained, or worse applied, than this by Zophar, who intended to prove Job a hypocrite. Let us receive the good explanation, and make a better application, for warning to ourselves, to stand in awe and sin not. One view of Jesus, directed by the Holy Spirit, and by him suitably impressed upon our souls, will quell a thousand carnal reasonings about the suffering of the faithful.

Verses that belong to this explanation: 23-29
23[When] he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating.24He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through.25It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors [are] upon him.26All darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.27The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.28The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.29This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Job 20:29 This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
The portion of the wicked
Zophar, having described the vexations which attend wicked practices, shows their ruin from God’s wrath. There is no fence against this, but in Christ, who is the only Covert from the storm and tempest, [Isa 32:2]. Zophar concludes, “This is the portion of a wicked man from God;” it is allotted him. Never was any doctrine better explained, or worse applied, than this by Zophar, who intended to prove Job a hypocrite. Let us receive the good explanation, and make a better application, for warning to ourselves, to stand in awe and sin not. One view of Jesus, directed by the Holy Spirit, and by him suitably impressed upon our souls, will quell a thousand carnal reasonings about the suffering of the faithful.
