Context of Job 27:9
7“May my enemy be as the wicked, And my opponent as the criminal. 8For what is the hope of the godless when he makes an end of life, When God requires his life? Will God hear his cry When distress comes upon him? 10Or will he take pleasure in the Almighty? Will he call on God at all times? 11I will instruct you in the power of God; What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
