Job 27:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : Job asks, For what is the hope of the hypocrite? . Even if a hypocrite gains many things in this world, such as wealth or praise, he cannot count on these things forever. When God takes his soul, all his hopes will disappear. As it says, Thy soul shall be required of thee (Luke 12:20 ). All the things he trusted in will be left behind (Psalm 49:17 ), and he will be left with nothing in the end. Even if he did many religious actions, God will say, Depart from me, I know you not (Matthew 7:23 ). So, a hypocrite will be miserable when he dies, no matter how good his life seemed before.

‏ Job 27:8

v. 8: Job asks, For what is the hope of the hypocrite? . Even if a hypocrite gains many things in this world, such as wealth or praise, he cannot count on these things forever. When God takes his soul, all his hopes will disappear. As it says, Thy soul shall be required of thee (Luke 12:20 ^a). All the things he trusted in will be left behind (Psalm 49:17 ^b), and he will be left with nothing in the end. Even if he did many religious actions, God will say, Depart from me, I know you not (Matthew 7:23 ^c). So, a hypocrite will be miserable when he dies, no matter how good his life seemed before.
