Job 9:22-24
New Living Translation
22 Innocent or wicked, it is all the same to God.
That’s why I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23 When a plague[a] sweeps through,
he laughs at the death of the innocent.
24 The whole earth is in the hands of the wicked,
and God blinds the eyes of the judges.
If he’s not the one who does it, who is?

Job 14:18-21
New Living Translation
18 “But instead, as mountains fall and crumble
and as rocks fall from a cliff,
19 as water wears away the stones
and floods wash away the soil,
so you destroy people’s hope.
20 You always overpower them, and they pass from the scene.
You disfigure them in death and send them away.
21 They never know if their children grow up in honor
or sink to insignificance.
Job 14:18-21
New International Version
18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles(A)
and as a rock is moved from its place,(B)
19 as water wears away stones
and torrents(C) wash away the soil,(D)
so you destroy a person’s hope.(E)
20 You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;(F)
you change their countenance and send them away.(G)
21 If their children are honored, they do not know it;
if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.(H)
