Job 9:21-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 I am blameless; I do not know myself;
I loathe my life.(A)
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’(B)
23 When disaster brings sudden death,
he mocks at the calamity[a] of the innocent.(C)
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
he covers the eyes of its judges—
if it is not he, who then is it?(D)

Job 9:21-24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 Though I am blameless,
I no longer care about myself;
I renounce my life.(A)
22 It is all the same. Therefore I say,
“He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.”(B)
23 When disaster brings sudden death,
He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth[a] is handed over to the wicked;
He blindfolds[b] its judges.(C)
If it isn’t He, then who is it?
