Job 20 presents a speech by Zofar, Job's third friend, who tries to convince him to recognize God's righteousness in his afflictions and confess his sins. Zofar makes a vivid description of the fate of the wicked, arguing that divine punishment always falls on them. The following verses address themes similar to those treated by Zofar:

Proverbs 10:27: "The fear of the Lord extends the days, but the life of the wicked is abbreviated." This verse talks about the fate of the wicked, which according to Zofar in Job 20, is marked by suffering and premature death.

Psalm 37:35-36: "I saw a arrogant wicked and spreading as a leafy tree on native soil. But it passed and no longer exists; I looked for it, but could not be found." This psalm also talks about the fate of the wicked, which is compared to a dry and died tree.

Proverbs 1:33: "But anyone who hears me will live safely and will be quiet, without fear of any evil." This verse highlights the importance of listening to divine wisdom, which Zofar believes Job is rejecting.

Psalm 11:6: "He will make it rain over the wicked embers and an incandescent sulfur; a dry wind will be their share." This psalm also talks about the fate of the wicked, which is described as a rain of fire and sulfur, similar to Zofar's description in Job 20.
