JOB 20. SECOND SPEECH OF ZOPHAR. Zophar helps the return to the wider
problem by appearing once more with a strong doctrine as to the
shortness of the prosperity of the wicked. His theme is, Sin bring...

Zophar ignores Job's conviction that God will one day establish his
innocence, and proceeds to describe the short triumph of the wicked

THE HEAVEN SHALL REVEAL HIS INIQUITY. — All nature shall combine to
