Job 27
1. Job protests his sincerity
8. The hypocrite is without hope
11. The blessings which the wicked have are turned into curses














Will he delight
The Hebrew word for "delight" is "עָנַג" (anag), which conveys a sense of taking pleasure or finding joy in something. In the context of Job, this word challenges the reader to consider the depth of one's relationship with God. Delight in the Almighty suggests a profound, intrinsic joy that transcends circumstances. Historically, this delight is not merely an emotional response but a committed, covenantal relationship with God, reflecting the joy found in obedience and trust.

in the Almighty
The term "Almighty" is translated from the Hebrew "שַׁדַּי" (Shaddai), a name for God that emphasizes His ultimate power and sovereignty. This name is often associated with God's ability to provide and protect, as seen throughout the patriarchal narratives. In Job's context, it underscores the question of whether one finds joy in God's nature and character, even amidst suffering. The historical use of "Shaddai" in Scripture often points to God's sufficiency and might, inviting believers to trust in His overarching plan.

Will he call upon
The phrase "call upon" comes from the Hebrew "קָרָא" (qara), meaning to cry out or summon. This action implies a dependence on and a relationship with God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, calling upon a deity was an act of worship and reliance. For Job, this phrase questions whether a person maintains their devotion and communication with God consistently, regardless of life's trials.

God
The word "God" here is "אֱלוֹהַּ" (Eloah), a singular form of Elohim, emphasizing the monotheistic belief in one true God. This term is used throughout the book of Job to highlight God's majesty and authority. In the broader biblical narrative, Eloah is a reminder of God's unique and unparalleled nature, calling believers to recognize His holiness and justice.

at all times
The phrase "at all times" suggests constancy and perseverance. In Hebrew, this concept is often linked to the idea of faithfulness and steadfastness. Historically, the expectation of continual prayer and reliance on God is a theme woven throughout Scripture, encouraging believers to maintain their faith through all seasons of life. This constancy is a testament to one's unwavering trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, regardless of external circumstances.

(10) Will he delight himself?--It is only the godly who can say, "Whom have I in heaven but Thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire in comparison with Thee;" and again, "I will praise Thy name, because it is so comfortable;" but this man hath no promise that he can plead, and therefore no assurance of access at all times to the presence of God.

Verse 10. - Will he delight himself in the Almighty? A further ill result of hypocrisy is noted. Not only does it alienate God from us, but it nile,ares us from God. The hypocrite cannot "delight in the Almighty." He must shriek from him, tear him, dislike to dwell on the thought of his presence and realize it. His natural inclination must be to withdraw his thoughts from God, and give himself up to the worldliness which has been his attraction to assume the hypocrite's part. Will he always call upon God? Can be even be depended on not to renounce the service of God altogether? The mutual alienation above spoken of must tend to check communion, to disincline to prayer and calling upon God, to erect a barrier between the hypocrite and the Almighty, which, though for a while it may be insufficient to withstand the force of use and wont, will yet, in the long run, be sure to tell, and will either put an end to prayer altogether, or reduce it to a formality.
