The wicked man's portion from God

Job 20:1-29
Zophar speaks: The wicked will suffer, the wicked man's portion from God will be nothing.
The exulting歡呼雀躍 of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Because he knew no contentment in his belly, he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
Zophar, like Bildad, is upset by Job, and he takes up Bildad's theme:the fate of the wicked.
Their prosperity is short-lived, their punishment certain. But this is not the point, they are not hearing Job because his case does not fit their general rule.
We hear no more from Zophar after this: either he has nothing further to add, or a section of the third round of speeches has been lost. It is possible that 27:13-23, which sounds so strange coming from Job, belongs in fact to Zophar.
Why?
All they said are correct to the wicked one, but Job does not fit to this general rule.
Sometime we do not know what we had done against the Lord, or have sin but we did not sense it. So the suffering might come upon us. So we need to read the Bible and let the Holy Spirit reminds us let us repent and turn to the Lord.
How?
Read the Bible for me, not for others. humble, pray to the Lord forgive my sin if any.
