Contradiction with Job 11:4-5
Zophar criticizes Job, suggesting he should realize his faults, but Job 42:7 indicates that Zophar did not speak what was right about God, as Job did.
Job 11:4-5: For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
Contradiction with Job 11:2-3
Zophar implies that Job's words require correction, yet James 1:19 suggests being slow to speak and quick to listen, which Zophar doesn't do.
Job 11:2-3: Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified? [full...: Heb. of lips]
Contradiction with Job 11:6
Zophar claims Job's suffering is less than he deserves, which contradicts with Job 1:1, 8 where God describes Job as upright and blameless, indicating he doesn’t deserve such suffering.
Job 11:6: And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth].
Contradiction with Job 11:14-15
Zophar assumes Job has hidden sin to repent from for restoration, contradicting the assertion in Job 1:1 of Job's integrity and righteousness.
Job 11:14-15: If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
Contradiction with Job 11:20
Zophar speaks of the hopeless fate for the wicked, assuming Job falls into this category, while Job 42:10-12 shows that Job is ultimately restored, contradicting Zophar's belief.
Job 11:20: 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. [they shall...: Heb. flight shall perish from them] [the giving...: or, a puff of breath]
