Job 27:12

Compare all

10 ^aWill he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call on God?

11 “I will teach you¹ about the hand of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

12 Surely all of you have seen it;
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?

13 “This^a is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:

14 ^aIf his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

<< Job 27:11

Job 27:13 >>

Ye yourselves have seen it - Your own experience and observation have shown you that the righteous are frequently in affliction, and the wicked in affluence.

Why then are ye thus altogether vain? - The original is very emphatical: hebel tehbalu , and well expressed by Mr. Good: "Why then should ye thus babble babblings!" It our language would allow it, we might say vanitize vanity.
