Job 9:21-24
Expanded Bible
21 “I am innocent,
but I don’t ·care about myself [or know for sure].
I ·hate [loathe] my own life.
22 It is all the same. That is why I say,
‘God destroys both the innocent and the ·guilty [wicked].’
23 If ·the whip [or disaster] brings sudden death,
God will ·laugh [ridicule] ·at the suffering [or the despair] of the innocent.
24 When the ·land [earth] ·falls [L is given] into the ·hands [power] of evil people,
he covers the judges’ faces so they can’t see it.
If it is not God who does this, then who is it?

Job 9:21-24
New American Standard Bible
21 I am (A)guiltless;
I do not take notice of myself;
I (B)reject my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He (C)destroys the guiltless and the wicked.’
23 If the whip kills suddenly,
He (D)mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth (E)is handed over to the wicked;
He (F)covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, then who is it?

21 “Although I am blameless,(A)
I have no concern for myself;(B)
I despise my own life.(C)
22 It is all the same; that is why I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’(D)
23 When a scourge(E) brings sudden death,
he mocks the despair of the innocent.(F)
24 When a land falls into the hands of the wicked,(G)
he blindfolds its judges.(H)
If it is not he, then who is it?(I)

21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
