# General Information:

Zophar continues speaking to Job.

# Although wickedness is sweet in his mouth

Here "wickedness is sweet" represents a person enjoying doing wicked things. Alternate translation: "Although doing wicked things is pleasurable like tasting sweet food in the mouth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# although he hides ... does not let it go

This represents wanting to continue to enjoy the wickedness as one wants to continue enjoying tasty food by keeping it in the mouth. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
