“His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. His children: or, The poor shall oppress his children”
Job 20:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 20:10
Zophar declares the wicked's children will beg: 'His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.' The next generation suffers for the father's wickedness—children begging from those their father oppressed. This principle (children bearing consequences of parents' sins) appears in Scripture but isn't absolute (Ezekiel 18). Zophar wrongly applies this to Job, whose children died (not impoverished), suggesting their deaths indicated Job's wickedness.
