Job 27:9
7 May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
8 For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10 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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
