Job 27:7-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. “Let my enemy be as the wicked,and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

8. For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off,when God takes away his life?

9. Will God hear his crywhen distress comes upon him?

10. Will he take delight in the Almighty?Will he call upon God at all times?

11. I will teach you concerning the hand of God; 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?

13. “This is the portion of a wicked man with God,and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:

14. If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword,and his descendants have not enough bread.

15. Those who survive him the pestilence buries,and his widows do not weep.
