Job 27:7-12

The Voice

⁷     May my enemy be counted as the wicked
        and my adversary as the unjust.
⁸     For what hope does he who is sullied and impure have
        once God lops him off from life and requires his soul?
⁹     Will God listen to his cry
        when he is overtaken by distress?
¹⁰     Will he have made the Highest One his pleasure after the fact?
        Will he have marked the seasons with his calls to God once it is too late?
¹¹     Let me show you what I have learned of God’s power.
        I assure you I will not cover over the true nature of the Highest One’s ways.
¹²     Look, you have all seen it—seen the same things I have seen here.
        Why then all this vain nonsense?
