Like Eliphaz (15:17-35) and Bildad (18:5-21), Zophar quickly describes the fate of the wicked. To answer Job, Zophar draws from his personal reflection (2) and the tradition passed down by his ancestors (4) in a sapiential style. The wicked ignore God and His commandments and place themselves in God’s position. They are proud and arrogant (6), but they will perish forever like their dung (7). Addressing social injustice (15-19), he says greed drives them to oppress the poor and needy (17-22). However, the joy of wealth gained through ill-gotten means will not last, for God, like a mighty warrior, will attack the wicked with all the power of His cosmic arsenal (23-28). If Job faces God’s wrath, what else can he expect? This is the fate awaiting the wicked (29).
