Job 27:8-10 Men Pleasers

GuidetohisWord

 Parable #13

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?/ Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?/ Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?(vv.8-10)”

What is left there in a man if he has gained the whole world but lost his integrity? It is the savor of his soul for which no other man can pay ransom.
