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
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?
