Job 15:34

¹³So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,

⁸For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

²The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.

²²Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”

¹Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

¹²because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him, ¹³the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. ¹⁴I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem. ¹⁵I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. ¹⁶I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know. ¹⁷I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

¹⁴If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.

⁶The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.

¹³“But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.

⁵Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities. ⁶For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing. ⁷You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry. ⁸But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it. ⁹You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
