My name is Zophar. I arrived with Eliphaz and Bildad because we heard that Job had suffered a great calamity. When we arrived, we could see from a distance that Job was a pathetic mess, covered from head to toes with festering sores. We sat in silence for seven days, neither Job nor us offering anything to say. But as I sat and thought, the more I thought, I was convinced that Job had done something far worse than the punishment he received. After Eliphaz and Bildad offered their opinions, I told Job exactly what I thought, that his punishment could have been worse. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Job 11:1-20]
