King James Translators' Notes

short: Heb. from near

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. the hypocrite-literally, "the ungodly" (Ps 37:35, 36).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:1-9 Zophar's discourse is upon the certain misery of the wicked. The triumph of the wicked and the joy of the hypocrite are fleeting. The pleasures and gains of sin bring disease and pain; they end in remorse, anguish, and ruin. Dissembled piety is double iniquity, and the ruin that attends it will be accordingly.


Job 8:12 "While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant.
Job 8:13 "So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish,
Psalm 37:35 I have seen a wicked, violent man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.
Psalm 37:36 Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found. (NASB ©1995)
