Context of Job 27:10

8For what hope does the godless have when he is cut off, when God takes away his life? 9Does God listen to his cry when distress overtakes him? Will he find delight in the Almighty? Will he call out to God at all times? 11I will teach you about the power of God; What is on the Almighty’s mind I will not conceal. 12If you yourselves have all seen this, Why in the world do you continue this meaningless talk?
