Read in context

Job 27:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

15 His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
