Job 27:7-12
English Standard Version
7 “Let my enemy be as the wicked,
and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
8 (A)For what is the hope of the godless (B)when God cuts him off,
when God takes away his life?
9 (C)Will God hear his cry
when distress comes upon him?
10 Will he (D)take delight in the Almighty?
Will he call upon God at all times?
11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
(E)what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;
why then have you become altogether vain?
Job 27:7-12
Common English Bible
Job curses his enemies
7 Let my enemy be like the wicked,
my opposition like the vicious.
8 For what hope has the godless when God cuts them off,
when he takes them away.
9 Will God hear their cries
when distress comes to them;
10 will they delight in the Almighty,
call God at any time?
Job’s view of his enemies’ fate
11 I will teach you God’s power,
not hide what pertains to the Almighty.
12 Look, those of you who recognize this—
why then this empty talk?
