Job protests his sincerity8. The hypocrite is without hope 11. The blessings which the wicked have are turned into curses This is the wicked man’s portion from God— This phrase introduces the concept of divine justice, a recurring theme in the Book of Job. It reflects the belief that God, as the ultimate judge, dispenses justice according to one's actions. The "portion" implies a predetermined share or fate, suggesting that the wicked will inevitably face consequences. This aligns with the wisdom literature tradition, such as in Proverbs, where the wicked are often contrasted with the righteous. The idea of a "portion" also echoes the inheritance language found in the Old Testament, where land and blessings were allotted to the tribes of Israel, indicating a divinely ordained destiny. the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

Reflection on Personal Conduct This verse invites self-examination of one's life and actions, encouraging repentance and alignment with God's will.(13) This is the portion of a wicked man.--Some have thought that the remainder of this chapter, if not Job 28 also, constitutes the missing third speech of Zophar, and that the usual words, "Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said," have dropped out; but whatever may so be gained in symmetry seems to be lost in dramatic effect. We have seen that Bildad had but little to say, and that was only a few truisms; it is not surprising, therefore, that when it came to the turn of Zophar he had nothing more to say, and Job was left virtually master of the field. It is, however, a little remarkable that, supposing these words to be rightly ascribed to Job, he should precisely adopt those with which Zophar had concluded (Job 20:29). Perhaps Job is willing to show how completely he is prepared to accept the facts of his friends, although he will not admit their inferences. He, like them, is quite ready to allow that the prosperity of the wicked must be seeming rather than real, and that it must eventually come to nought.Verse 13. - This is the portion of a wicked men with God. In "this" Job includes all that follows from ver. 14 to ver. 23 - "this, which I am going to lay down." He pointedly takes up the words of Zophar in Job 20:29, admitting their general truth. And the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. Retribution is "their portion" "their heritage" i.e. the natural result and consequence of their precedent sin.
