Job 11:20

20. A warning to Job, if he would not turn to God.

The wicked—that is, obdurate sinners.

eyes . . . fail—that is, in vain look for relief (De 28:65). Zophar implies Job's only hope of relief is in a change of heart.

they shall not escape—literally, "every refuge shall vanish from them."

giving up of the ghost—Their hope shall leave them as the breath does the body (Pr 11:7).
