Job 20

Zophar speaks, deeply offended by Job's claims of innocence. He defends the traditional view that the prosperity of the wicked is short-lived. Zophar describes the wicked man's fleeting triumph, stating that though he may soar to the heavens, he will quickly vanish like dust. He says the wicked man's stolen wealth will make him sick, his pleasure will turn to bitterness, and he will eventually face ruin, starvation, and destruction by God's fury. Zophar concludes that this is the portion of the wicked, implying it is Job's portion as well.
