Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. dung-in contrast to the haughtiness of the sinner (Job 20:6); this strong term expresses disgust and the lowest degradation (Ps 83:10; 1Ki 14:10).

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 4:20 'Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces; Unobserved, they perish forever.
Job 7:10 "He will not return again to his house, Nor will his place know him anymore.
Job 8:18 "If he is removed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, 'I never saw you.'
Job 14:20 "You forever overpower him and he departs; You change his appearance and send him away. (NASB ©1995)
