Job is a book of the Bible where all of the theology presented is not correct. Job's friends bring forth incorrect theology - the wicked are punished and the good prosper in this life as a rule. That is not always the case.
Zophar does speak some good observances in vv. 11:7-9 about our inability to understand the mind of God completely. The mysteries of God are well beyond our capture and comprehension.
Job says something very profound in Chapter 14 -"Man's days are determined; You have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed." Let us all remember that we have a set time on earth - one day less than yesterday - and let us live our lives circumspectly - making every minute count because we will have to give account for how we spent our life. God will ask us if we lived our allotted time for His mission or for ours. let's all be able to give a good account for our allotted time.
