Job 9:22-24
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
22 One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.
23 If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then?

22 It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He (A)destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

he mocks at the calamity[a] of the innocent.

he (D)covers the faces of its judges—
(E)if it is not he, who then is it?
