Job 27:7-12
New American Standard Bible
The State of the Godless
7 “May my enemy be as the wicked,
And [a]my opponent as the criminal.
8 For what is (A)the hope of the godless when he makes an end of life,
When God requires (B)his [b]life?
9 Will God (C)hear his cry
When (D)distress comes upon him?
10 Or will he take (E)pleasure in the Almighty?
Will he call on God at all times?
11 I will instruct you in the [c]power of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Behold, all of you have seen it;
Why then do you talk of nothing?
Job 27:7-12
New Living Translation
7 “May my enemy be punished like the wicked,
my adversary like those who do evil.
8 For what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off
and takes away their life?
9 Will God listen to their cry
when trouble comes upon them?
10 Can they take delight in the Almighty?
Can they call to God at any time?
11 I will teach you about God’s power.
I will not conceal anything concerning the Almighty.
12 But you have seen all this,
yet you say all these useless things to me.
