Job 20:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : Zophar states his main point: The triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment . He says that even if bad people or hypocrites seem happy, their happiness does not last. Those who pretend to be good but do evil will face even greater punishment (Matthew 24:51 ). Zophar now agrees that the wicked may prosper for a while, but insists that their good times will soon end in misery.
