Job 24:18

These verses appear to be the opposite of what Job has just said, therefore some scholars assign these words (18-24) to Zophar. Others say that Job is now quoting what his friends had said about the wicked,. sort of "you say". However, Job may be saying that even though the wicked live on, eventually they are punished. This would oppose the view of Zophar, that the wicked die young (Job 20:5). "Job never said that the wicked do not suffer. Instead, Job said that both the righteous and the wicked suffer, and both prosper" (Zuck p. 111). Job 24:18 In the end such oppressors become as insignificant as foam on water and their land would be curses and unproductive.
