Zophar encourages Job to put away the iniquity in his hand and not let wrongdoing dwell in his tent, urging him to purge himself of moral transgression. The image of iniquity in the hand suggests its active practice; the wrongdoing dwelling in the tent suggests its habitual nature. Zophar assumes that moral purification is the precondition for restoration.
