Job 2:11• 11Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. (Job 2:11)

• {ch.20} Zophar: the certain and terrible doom of the wicked, in spite of short-lived prosperity. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
• He fiercely denounces evil, leaving no room for doubt that he refers to Job, and depicts the certain doom of the wicked in language whose very vehemence soon exhausts what he has in mind....All that he says is true; his own unpardonable error is that he seeks to apply it to a righteous man. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
• Brief triumph of the wicked (vers. 1-5). (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)

He seems prepared for re-proach, which Job’s past answers lead him to expect, but is impelled by his knowledge to make one more attempt to silence Job. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
