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)
