Job 11:13 says, If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; Zophar, as had Eliphaz and Bildad, gave Job some good advice, but they all gave their advice from faulty assumptions.  All three were sure that Job was guilty of some unconfessed sin and had therefore brought his suffering on himself.  Also, as is often the case, their judgment of Job became increasingly harsh as each spoke.  Usually, as people begin to speak out against someone, the more people who speak the more certain they become that they are right and that the one they are speaking against is wrong.  If two people had already spoken out against Job, then certainly Zophar was justified in speaking out against Job and qualified to give him advice.  We may indeed receive good advice from people that is given for the wrong reason.  We must know enough to accept the truth and reject the error in their advice.  Job would do well to prepare his heart and reach out to God.  We should do this continually.  Even though Job was certain that he had not sinned to bring this suffering on himself, he still needed to reach out to God with all his heart.  Verse fourteen adds, If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.  Zophar was still giving Job good advice, but I believe he meant that he knew Job was guilty of iniquity and wickedness.  I believe Zophar was really saying that Job was guilty, and it was time for him to confess his hypocrisy.  We are correct to tell everyone to put iniquity and wickedness out of their heart, or life, and to seek God's will, but we are never correct to assume that we know another Christian's relationship with God.  Verse fifteen continues, For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:  Zophar was telling Job that as soon as he repented that he would be restored.  Job's face that was now covered with sores would be without spots.  We can never promise people that if they simply follow God's will that they will be blessed with everything materially or physically.  Sometimes, God's people do suffer for their faith, as was Job, and not for a lack of faith as his three friends were advising him.  Verse sixteen states, Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:  Zophar told Job that when he made things right with God and was restored to Him that he would forget all his misery.  This is something else that we cannot promise people.  Even if Job were restored, the memories of his suffering, especially the death of his children, would remain with him the rest of his life.  Just because God delivers us from suffering in this life does not mean that we will never remember that suffering and at times even bear its marks.  Verse seventeen adds, And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.  I believe that Zophar was telling Job that even though he was older, he would be like a man in the middle of his life, if not even better.  Verse eighteen continues, And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.  Zophar told Job that not only would his health be restored, but that he would rest secure in hope.  We need to be careful what we promise to others.  These were not promises from God, but from Zophar.  We cannot promise earthly blessings based on our relationship with God.  Sometimes Christians suffer for seemingly no reason, and their suffering ends in death.  This does not mean that they were being punished by God and that had they made things right with God they would have been restored to health.  Our relationship to God is not based on physical things, which will pass away, but on spiritual things, which will last forever.  Verse nineteen says, Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.  Again, Zophar was making promises to Job that were not necessarily true.  Zophar said that not only would Job sleep easy, but that people would again seek his advice or company.  Verse twenty adds, 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.  I believe Zophar was telling Job that if he didn't repent that he would die without hope.  As I have already stated, we cannot base the faith of a person on material things.  We know that often the righteous, those who follow Christ, do suffer, and we are not in the position to promise them that it will end with their restoration in this life.
