Zophar insisted that the wicked person would end up in poverty. No one would try to steal from him or be jealous of him because he would have nothing. In verse 22 he stated that the wicked would gang up against each other.
It is true that wicked people cannot be trusted. They are very selfish and will step on anyone who gets in their way. Dr. Fauci demonstrates the nature of a wicked person. He has been implicated many times in working and funding the gain of function research that was used to develop the Wuhan virus. He has lied over and over again, even under oath, and nothing is being done about it. He does not care about the many people that have died due to his wicked plans and actions. He will face God’s justice one day soon.
Zophar assumed that his description fit for Job. He was wrong in that. He was not God and he had no idea what he was talking about. He was trying to intimidate Job with his piety, but Job was not falling for it. This frustrated him and his two friends.
In verses 23-25 Zophar spoke of the trouble that awaits the wicked. As we have mentioned before, Zophar should have had a mirror to look into while he spoke these words. He and his two friends were the ones in trouble with God. They were digging their pit deeper with every word that came out of their mouth. Their words demonstrated the evil that was in their hearts.
As we have noted before, there are many wicked people who seem to do quite well for a time. Some of them die with good health and they leave much wealth behind. Family members talk of how they die so peacefully. The casual observer would think that they were headed for their form of heaven and they just kind of slipped out of this life and into that eternal bliss many dream of.
Wise people look beyond what the physical eye can see. Wise people have the Word of God as their authority. They use righteous judgment. There are godly people who finish life in relative physical ease and there are others who suffer greatly prior to death. Job was suffering at the present, but he would end his life in peace and with great monetary blessings. He would live long enough to see four generations of his new family. The life of Job certainly did not fit the predictions of Zophar.
It is a good thing that we can know the truth. We have enough light to be able to know the truth and discern the lies. Sadly, many are choosing to believe lies and reject the truth. Job was not one of them.
Zophar continued his false ideas in verses 26-28. He was so sure that he was right. He assumed that if he painted a bleak enough picture for Job, he could break him. There is a judgment coming. The Bible declares that the wicked will stand at the great white throne judgment and their “works” will be revealed. They will be shown in public why they are going to be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity. All the wicked will know why they will be in that dreaded place.
The righteous will stand at the judgment seat of Christ. They will be examined as God’s children. Some will be there, saved though as by fire. Others will lose some rewards and others will gain rewards. None of those will be in danger of being cast into the lake of fire.
The time to determine your eternal destiny is now, in this life. No preacher can preach a person into heaven. No preacher can preach a person out of heaven. The judge is Jesus Christ. The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
