Verse 2 is found in chapter 11 of Job. Zophar responds more harshly than Eliphaz and Bildad. He considers Job’s words insufficient and states that God knows secrets beyond human understanding. According to Zophar, Job should acknowledge a guilt that would justify discipline. His speech shows how defending divine wisdom can become an unjust accusation when mechanically applied to another person’s suffering.
