Job 11 Footnotes

11:6 Zophar’s remarks are not to be taken literally. He meant that Job was being punished far less than he deserved. The Scriptures report that God remembers sinful actions and will never forget the crimes of those who oppress the poor (Hs 7:1-2). The best example of God’s forgetfulness is with those whose sins are forgiven (Is 43:25; Jr 31:34).
