Context of Job 27:9
7Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 8For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when God taketh away his soul? Will God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him? 10Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon God? 11I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
