Job 27:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

12 Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?

13 This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

14 Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
