Job 27:10
Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
BSB
ASV
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?
KJV
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? - A truly pious man will delight himself in the Almighty. His supreme happiness will be found in God. He has pleasure in the contemplation of his existence, his perfections, his law, and his government. Coverdale renders this, “Hath he such pleasure and delight in the Almighty that he dare alway call upon God?” The idea of Job is that a hypocrite has not his delight in the Almighty; and, therefore, his condition is not such as he would defend or choose.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
