Job 9:23-25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³When disaster brings sudden death,
    he mocks at the calamity^[a] of the innocent.
²⁴The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
    he covers the faces of its judges—
    if it is not he, who then is it?

²⁵“My days are swifter than a runner;
they flee away, they see no good.
