“Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; oppressed: Heb. crushed”
Job 20:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 20:19
The wicked oppress the poor: 'Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not.' Zophar accuses Job of oppressing the poor and seizing houses—serious moral charges. These accusations are false (Job 29-31 shows his generosity). Zophar invents specific sins to explain Job's suffering, demonstrating how theodicy can become slander when it assumes suffering always indicates specific wickedness.
