Job 27:10
8 For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9 Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
11 I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
12 Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
