Job 9:21-24
Legacy Standard Bible
21 I am (A)blameless;
I do not know my soul;
I (B)reject my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He (C)consumes the blameless and the wicked.’
23 If the scourge puts to death suddenly,
He (D)mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth (E)is given into the hand of the wicked;
He (F)covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, then who is it?
Job 9:21-24
Revised Standard Version
21 I am blameless; I regard not myself;
I loathe my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
he destroys both the blameless and the wicked.
23 When disaster brings sudden death,
he mocks at the calamity[a] of the innocent.
24 The 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?
