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.
Job 27:7-12
Living Bible
7 Those who declare otherwise are my wicked enemies. They are evil men.
8 “But what hope has the godless when God cuts him off and takes away his life? 9 Will God listen to his cry when trouble comes upon him? 10 For he does not delight himself in the Almighty or pay any attention to God except in times of crisis.
11 “I will teach you about God— 12 but really, I don’t need to, for you yourselves know as much about him as I do; yet you are saying all these useless things to me.
