What Does Job 27:10 Mean?
Job exposes the inner life of the godless with two questions. Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times, not merely in emergencies? The expected answer is no. There is no joy in God where there is no love for God, and no steady prayer where there is no abiding trust.
Here is the difference between Job and the hypocrite he describes. Even in agony, Job swears by God, speaks to God, and clings to God. The godless cannot do this, for he has no delight in the One he ignored. The righteous are marked by a settled gladness in God and a habit of constant prayer, delighting themselves in the Lord even when life is hard. This verse quietly commends a faith that finds its treasure and its joy in God Himself.
