Job 21

Job 21
Job answers again, telling his friends the truth which they seemed to have overlooked, that in the present order of things, since Satan has taken rule on earth, generally the wicked live, grow old, become mighty in power: they are established; their houses are safe from fear and everything goes well with them; they spend their days in prosperity and when death comes, they are quickly gone.
They say to God, "Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of Thy ways. What is the Almighty that we should serve Him, and what are we profited if we pray unto Him?" And this was the state of things. on earth as long ago as when Job lived—4,000 years ago!—as it is today.
Job did not know what happens to the wicked at death; that was left to the Lord Jesus to tell in Luke 16:22-31,22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. (Luke 16:22‑31) but lie could agree with his friends to this extent, that the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity; they will be led forth to the day of wrath, the day of the judgment of the ungodly.
Zophar the Naamathite was put to silence; we hear from him no more.
