Job 27:9

“Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh, upon him?] No, he will not, he heareth not sinners, and such as regard iniquity in their hearts, (<196618>Psalm 66:18); every man has trouble more or less in this life, even the best of men; and generally speaking they have the most, and wicked men the least; but when death comes, he is a king of terrors to them, and they find sorrow and trouble; and especially at the day of judgment, when they will cry for mercy; and hypocrites, as the foolish virgins, will cry, “Lord, Lord, open unto us”, (<402511>Matthew 25:11); but when they call for mercy, the Lord will not answer, but laugh at their calamity, and mock when their fear cometh, (<200126>Proverbs…”

“(Psa 66:18).”

“Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? - Coverdale has rendered this Job 27:8-9 so as to make excellent sense, though not strictly in accordance with the original. “What hope hath the hypocrite though he have great good, and though God give him riches after his heart’s desire? Doth God hear him the sooner, when he crieth unto him in his necessity?” The object of the verse is to show the miserable condition of a wicked man or a hypocrite. This is shown by the fact which Job asserts, that God will not hear his cry when he feels his need of aid, and when he is induced to call upon him. This is true only when his object in calling upon God is merely for help. If he has no relentings…”

“27:9-23 Some interpreters see a new speech here and ascribe it to Zophar because otherwise Zophar has no speech in this cycle.”
