The book of Job consists of poetry except for its opening narrative and its closing statement. Within that poetic portion, this verse occurs in chapters 32-37. Those chapters form one of the five divisions of the book, containing the argument and reproof addressed to Job by Elihu. The verse describes those who are hypocritical in heart as heaping up divine wrath upon themselves. When God binds, disciplines, or afflicts them, they do not cry out to Him.
