Mark A. Copeland
- God has stripped him of his glory, broken him down on every side
- God has uprooted his hope like a tree, kindled His wrath against him

15) Who else does he feel has now forsaken him? (19:13-19)
- His brothers, relatives, close friends, servants, even his wife and young children

16) What does Job ask of his friends? Why? (19:21)
- Have pity on him. For the hand of God has struck him.

17) While suffering, in what three things does Job affirm his faith? (19:25-29)
- That his Redeemer lives and will one day stand on the earth (i.e., the Messiah)
- That after death he will in his flesh see God (i.e., the Resurrection)
- That there will be a judgment (i.e., the Judgment Day)

18) As Zophar begins his second speech, what troubles him? (20:2-3)
- Having heard the reproof (of Job) that reproaches him

19) What does Zophar then describe? (20:1-11)
- The short-lived triumph of the wicked

20) What does Zophar believe concerning the wicked? (20:12-29)
- The sweetness of evil will become like a bitter curse, like cobra venom
- He will not be able to enjoy what he has accumulated

21) In response to Zophar, what does Job say about the wicked? (21:7-26)
- The wicked don't always suffer
- The wicked often die of old age and have an easy death

22) While they may prosper in this life, what does Job know concerning the wicked? (21:30)
- They are reserved for the day of doom, they shall be brought out on the day of wrath (i.e., the
Judgment Day)

23) As the second cycle of speeches ends, what does he say concerning his friends? (21:34)
