Holy Scripture
Job 27:8
A church father on this verse
“What hope, he says, does the impious have, even though he has lived so far? With what sort of assurance does he expect any salvation from God like that by which I trust to be saved? How will he confidently invoke God, after falling into misfortune, as if his prayers should be really heard?”
Source: Septuagint
Original
8For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? Will he indeed trust in the Lord and be saved?

In context
6But keeping fast to my righteousness I will by no means let it go: For I am not conscious to myself of having done anything amiss.
7Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, And they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.
— Job 27:8 —
9Will God hear his prayer? Or, when distress has come upon him,
10Has he any confidence before him? Or will God hear him as he calls upon him?
