Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. Though his excellency mount up to the heavens ] Probably referring to the original state of Adam, of whose fall he appears to have spoken, ver. 4. He was created in the image of God; but by his sin against his Maker he fell into wretchedness, misery, death, and destruction.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - Zophar's discourse is upon the certain misery of the wicked. The triumph of the wicked and the joy of the hypocrite are fleeting. The pleasures and gains of sin bring disease and pain; they end in remorse anguish, and ruin. Dissembled piety is double iniquity, and the rui that attends it will be accordingly.
