Zophar (Hebrew: צוֹפַר Ṣōp̄ar, "chirping"; "rising early"; also Tzofar) the Naamathite. "Naamathite" (na'-a-ma-thit) is a Gentile name,[1] suggesting he was from a city called Naamah, perhaps in Arabia.
Zophar is one of the three friends of Job who visit him during his illness in the Book of Job (c. 6th century BCE?), Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. Zophar's comments can be found in Job 11:1–20 and Job 20:1–29. He suggests that Job's suffering could be divine punishment, and goes into great detail about the consequences of living a life of sin.
