Job 20

Job 20:5

that the triumphing of the wicked is but short] Being driven from that part of their argument, That God did not use to give prosperity to wicked men; Zophar now insisteth upon this; That though it be so, Yet their Prosperity is but for a moment, or short; and ruine and destruction shall befall them. And this he pursues to the end of the chapter.

Job 20:12

sweet in his mouth] Zophar seemes to insist upon this similitude, to verse 23.

Job 20:24

bow of steele] Of the Bow, see the Annotations on Zech. IX. 13. and chap. X. 4. Here is mentioned a Bow of steele. And so Psal. XVIII. 34. such, it seemes, were in use.
