Job 20 · Grade 4

The Portion of a Wicked Man

Name Date

Read and Think

Zophar felt shamed by Job's words and answered in haste. He asked whether Job knew from old time, since man was placed on earth, that the triumphing of the wicked is short and the joy of the godless but for a moment.

Zophar said the wicked man would fly away as a dream. His children would seek the favor of the poor, and his hands would give back his wealth. He had oppressed and forsaken the poor, so his prosperity would not endure. The heavens would reveal his iniquity.

Zophar ended, This is the portion of a wicked man from God. He was hinting that Job had gained his wealth by oppressing the poor. But in chapter 29, Job describes how he rescued the poor and the fatherless. Zophar was wrong, and God later said the friends had not spoken what is right.

Think About It

  1. Zophar answered in haste because he felt shamed. How can hurt feelings lead us to say unfair things?

  2. Zophar hinted that Job oppressed the poor. Why is it wrong to accuse someone without knowing the truth?

Job 20 · Grade 5

The Heritage Appointed by God

Name Date

Read and Think

Zophar answers with feeling: Therefore my thoughts answer me, even by reason of my haste that is in me. I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. He appeals to ancient wisdom: since man was placed on earth, the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment. Even if his height reaches the heavens, he will perish.

Zophar describes the wicked man's end. He will fly away as a dream. The eye which saw him will see him no more. He has swallowed down riches, and he will vomit them up again. For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house. Because he knew no quietness within him, his prosperity will not endure. The heavens will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.

Zophar concludes, This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God. His speech is a thinly veiled charge that Job became rich by oppressing the poor. Yet Job 1:1 calls Job blameless and upright, and in chapter 29 Job recalls delivering the poor who cried. Zophar's general truth about judgment is twisted into a false accusation, and God says in 42:7 that the friends have not spoken of Him what is right.
