Context of Job 27:9
7“May my enemy be like the wicked my enemy like the unrighteous. 8For what hope has the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes his soul? Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him? 10Will he delight in Shaddai? Will he call upon God at all times? 11I will teach you about the hand of God; I will not conceal the ways of Shaddai.
