Job 27:9
Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?

Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?
KJV
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
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.
The judgment of the great day will come; fearfulness will surprise the hypocrites, Isa. xxxiii. (2.) Then he will cry to God, will pray, and pray earnestly. Those who in prosperity slighted God, either prayed not at all or were cold and careless in prayer, when trouble comes will make their application to him and cry as men in earnest.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
