Job 27:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 27:8

6 My righteousness I ^ahold fast, and will not let it go;
^bMy heart shall not¹ reproach me as long as I live.

7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.

8 ^aFor what is the hope of the hypocrite,
Though he may gain much,
If God takes away his life?

9 ^aWill God hear his cry
When trouble comes upon him?

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.
