20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp."
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."
20 But the wicked will see none of this. They're headed down a dead-end road with nothing to look forward to - nothing."
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope--loss of life!"
20 But the wicked will be blinded. They will have no escape. Their only hope is death."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 11:20
Commentary on Job 11:13-20
(Read Job 11:13-20)
Zophar exhorts Job to repentance, and gives him encouragement, yet mixed with hard thoughts of him. He thought that worldly prosperity was always the lot of the righteous, and that Job was to be deemed a hypocrite unless his prosperity was restored. Then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; that is, thou mayst come boldly to the throne of grace, and not with the terror and amazement expressed in Hebrews 10:22.
