25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
25 He pulls it out of his back, the gleaming point out of his liver. Terrors will come over him;
25 It is drawn forth and comes out of his body; the glittering point comes out of his gallbladder; terrors come upon him.
25 They're knocked around from pillar to post, beaten to within an inch of their lives. They're trapped in a house of horrors,
25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body; Yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him;
25 The arrow is pulled from their back, and the arrowhead glistens with blood. The terrors of death are upon them.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 20:25
Commentary on Job 20:23-29
(Read Job 20:23-29)
Zophar, having described the vexations which attend wicked practices, shows their ruin from God's wrath. There is no fence against this, but in Christ, who is the only Covert from the storm and tempest, Isaiah 32:2. Zophar concludes, "This is the portion of a wicked man from God;" it is allotted him. Never was any doctrine better explained, or worse applied, than this by Zophar, who intended to prove Job a hypocrite. Let us receive the good explanation, and make a better application, for warning to ourselves, to stand in awe and sin not. One view of Jesus, directed by the Holy Spirit, and by him suitably impressed upon our souls, will quell a thousand carnal reasonings about the suffering of the faithful.
