In the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Book of Job, Zophar or Tzofar (צוֹפַר "Chirping; rising early", Standard Hebrew Ẓofar, Tiberian Hebrew Ṣôp̄ar) the Naamathite is one of the friends of Job who visits to comfort him during his illness. His comments can be found in chapters 11 and 20. He suggests that Job's suffering could be divine punishment, and goes into great detail about the consequences of living a life of sin.
