Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

Job 22:17 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Depart from us. Job had previously ascribed this saying to the prosperous wicked (ch. 21:14, 15).

For them. The LXX and the Syriac here read, “for us,” thus making the sentence a further expression of arrogance.
