Job 27:7

May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.

Job 27:7 · BSB

Job 27:7 in context

The verses around it, from Job 27.

3 as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,

4 my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.

5 I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.

6 I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.

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?

9 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.
