Hi, I’m confused with Job 27:13-21. It says in the notes in my Bible that even though these verses are contained in Job’s speech, they are most likely the words of Zophar. Are they? It sure seems like it. Earlier, Job was saying how the wicked prosper on earth. Now, if these are his words, he is going back on himself. Can someone help me?
Thanks!

Job 27: 13-21 - This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the inheritance an oppressor receives from the Almighty: Though his children be many, the sword is their destiny. His offspring shall not be filled with bread. His survivors, when they die, shall have no burial, and their widows shall not be mourned. Though he heap up silver like dust and store away mounds of clothing, what he has stored the just man shall wear, and the innocent shall divide the silver. He builds his house as of cobwebs, or like a booth put up by the vine-keeper. He lies down a rich man, one last time; he opens his eyes and nothing remains to him. Terrors rush upon him by day; at night the tempest carries him off. The storm wind seizes him and he disappears; it sweeps him out of his place.
Thanks!
