Zophar feels the need to speak some reality into Job's idle talk. Zophar came to be sympathetic and comfort his friend job, but Job’s mocking of God and Job’s statements claiming his own self-righteousness cannot go unanswered.

Zophar speaks only two times: Job 11 and Job 20, but it is enough! Zophar cuts right to the quick of the matter and accuses Job of sin and declares his punishment fair. In fact, Zophar tells Job he should consider himself lucky because, “God has even forgotten some of your sin!” Job’s disasters could have been worse if God was actually paying attention to Job and had really given Job his best shot of discipline.

Zophar wishes God would speak for himself instead of letting Job do all the talking because there
are two sides of the story. Zophar would like to hear God’s side of the story!

“Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.” – Job 11:5-6

Zophar is tired of Job mocking God (11:3) and presenting his theology as if it were "flawless." (11:4). Zophar is upset. This may be why he only speaks twice - Zophar is so angry he just gives up on
this idle talker.

Five sects in modern
Judaism that you may
be confused about:

1- Hasidic Judaism, Jewish mysticism that began in Poland in the 1700’s as a reaction against overly legalistic Judaism. The poor and uneducated turned to mysticsm since they were seperated for Talmud study. (more and more)

2- Reform Judaism, a reformation of Jewish worship in the 1800’s that considers the advances of modern scholarship (here and here)

3- Orthodox Judaism, a movement from the 1800’s that desires to preserve traditional values by strict obedience to the Torah (more)

4- Reconstructionism, an American based movement from the 1900’s that believes Judaism is an evolving religious civilization with standards of conduct established by the Jewish community. There is considerable theological diversity with the movement.

5- Zionism, a secular political movement focused on establishing a national homeland in Palestine
for the Jews. (here and here)
