King James Version (KJV)

Job 27:7

“Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.”

Verse in context — Job 27

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.

Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
