Job 27:8

The verse most probably means,

For what is the hope of the godless man when God cutteth off,

When he taketh away his soul?

lit. when He cutteth off, when God draweth out his soul. The comfortless state of the ungodly man (A. V. hypocrite, see on ch. Job 8:13), who has no trust in God, is described in three conditions of his history, first, when he is at the moment of death, when God "cutteth (him) off" and "draweth out his soul" (Job 27:8); second, when calamity overtakes him (Job 27:9); and in general, in his whole life (Job 27:10).
