Zophar only speaks twice to Job, unlike friends Bildad and Eliphaz who each give three speeches. Zophar is the most impetuous and dogmatic of Job's three visitors: He is the first to accuse Job directly of wickedness; claiming that Job's punishment is indeed too good for him (), and he rebukes Job's impious presumption in trying to find out the unsearchable secrets of God (Job 11:7–12).
