Job 11:1

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite
The third of Job's friends, that came to visit him, (See Gill on Job 2:11); and who perhaps might be the youngest, since his turn was to speak last; and he appears to have less modesty and prudence, and more fire and heat in him; than his other friends; though he might be the more irritated by observing, that their arguments were baffled by Job, and had no manner of effect on him, to cause him to recede from his first sentiments and conduct:

Job 11:1 In-Context

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied to Job:
2 “Shouldn’t someone answer this torrent of words? Is a person proved innocent just by a lot of talking?
3 Should I remain silent while you babble on? When you mock God, shouldn’t someone make you ashamed?
4 You claim, ‘My beliefs are pure,’ and ‘I am clean in the sight of God.’
5 If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks!
