Job 20:3 - Exposition

I have heard the check of my reproach ; or, the reproof which putteth me to shame (Revised Version). Some suppose an allusion to Job 19:2 , Job 19:3 ; but it is better to regard Zophar as enraged by Job 19:28 , Job 19:29 of Job 19:1-29 . And the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer . This claim is not quite consistent with the acknowledgment of hastiness in Job 19:2 . But it is no unusual thing for an impetuous and hasty man to declare that he speaks from the dictates of pure dispassionate reason.
