Giobbe 20:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 20:1

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite
Notwithstanding the sad distressed condition Job was in, an account of which is given in the preceding chapter, enough to pierce a heart of stone, notwithstanding his earnest request to his friends to have pity on him, and notwithstanding the noble confession of his faith he had made, which showed him to be a good man, and the excellent advice he gave his friends to cease persecuting him, for their own good, as well as for his peace; yet, regardless of these things, Zophar starts up and makes a reply, and attacks him with as much heat and passion, wrath and anger, as ever, harping upon the same string, and still representing Job as a wicked man and an hypocrite;

and said,
as follows.

Giobbe 20:1 In-Context

1 E SOFAR Naamatita rispose, e disse:

2 Perciò i miei pensamenti m’incitano a rispondere, E perciò questa mia fretta è in me.

3 Io ho udita la mia vituperosa riprensione; Ma lo spirito mio mi spinge a rispondere del mio intendimento.

4 Non sai tu questo, che è stato d’ogni tempo, Da che l’uomo fu posto sopra la terra;

5 Che il trionfo degli empi è di breve durata, E che la letizia dell’ipocrita è sol per un momento?
