Job 20 - 22

Zophar speaks again in chapter 20, expressing indignation over the words of Job, and he takes personal insult. He proceeds to describe his view of how God treats the wicked on the earth, indicating that Job was all of those things and worse.

Job responds to all of his accusers in 21, demonstrating that sometimes the wicked actually live long and die rich, but that they will all be judged in the day of God’s wrath to come.

Eliphaz begins the third cycle of accusations in chapter 22 by doubling down on his condemnation of Job, now saying that he’s guilty of things which are patently untrue. He then presumes to speak for God in telling Job to repent of all his evil deeds and be restored.
