Job 20:2
Therefore do my thoughts - It has already been observed that Zophar was the most inveterate of all Job' s enemies, for we really must cease to call them friends. He sets no bounds to his invective, and outrages every rule of charity. A man of such a bitter spirit must have been, in general, very unhappy. With him Job is, by insinuation, every thing that is base, vile, and hypocritical. Mr. Good translates this verse thus: "Whither would my tumult transport me? And how far my agitation within me?" This is all the modesty that appears in Zophar' s discourse. He acknowledges that he is pressed by the impetuosity of his spirit to reply to Job' s self-vindication. The original is variously translated, but the sense is as above.
For this I make haste - ubaabur chushi bi , there is sensibility in me, and my feelings provoke me to reply.
