Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 8. He shall fly away as a dream ] Instead of rising again from corruption, as thou hast asserted, (chap. xix. 26,) with a new body, his flesh shall rot in the earth, and his spirit be dissipated like a vapor; and, like a vision of the night, nothing shall remain but the bare impression that such a creature had once existed, but shall appear no more for ever.
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.
