A warning to Job, if he would not turn to God.
The wicked—that is, obdurate sinners.
eyes . . . fail—that is, in vain look for relief (Deuteronomy 28:65). Zophar implies Job's only hope of relief is in a change of heart.
they shall not escape—literally, "every refuge shall vanish from them."
giving up of the ghost—Their hope shall leave them as the breath does the body (Proverbs 11:7).
