In Job 20 Zophar basically says that Job’s wickedness stems from the wealth he acquired. God is bringing him low because he was wealthy.

In Job 21 Job states that often the wicked are successful and reach an old age. His argument does not stand the test of reality. He complains that his friends are being of no comfort to him and the things they are saying are lies.

In Luke 20 Jesus tells a parable about how the religious leaders are working against him and God’s kingdom. This angers them even more. They try to trip him up but each time Jesus answers in a way that criticizes them and yet is not wrong.

Jesus has always been hard on the religious leaders but now that he is coming to his fulfillment of God’s promise he doesn’t even try to placate them. He knows that no matter what he says he will be found guilty. He tries to answer in a way that they are the ones who fall into the trap. This just infuriates them more. The pieces are falling into place and each person is playing the part given them to work out God’s plan for humanity.
