Job 9:21-24
Authorized (King James) Version
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?
Job 9:21-24
American Standard Version
21 [a]I am perfect; I regard not myself;
I despise my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 If the scourge slay suddenly,
He will mock at the [b]trial of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
He covereth the faces of the judges thereof:
If it be not he, who then is it?
