Job 27:7

“Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.”

Verse in context — Job 27

Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

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

Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

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 trouble comes on him?

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