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?

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,
and may my opponent be like the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts them off,
when God takes away their lives?(A)
9 Will God hear their cry
when trouble comes upon them?(B)
10 Will they take delight in the Almighty?[a]
Will they call upon God at all times?(C)
11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
that which is with the Almighty[b] I will not conceal.
12 All of you have seen it yourselves;
why then have you become altogether vain?
