Job 9:21-24
Expanded Bible
21 “I am innocent,
but I don’t ·care about myself [or know for sure].
I ·hate [loathe] my own life.
22 It is all the same. That is why I say,
‘God destroys both the innocent and the ·guilty [wicked].’
23 If ·the whip [or disaster] brings sudden death,
God will ·laugh [ridicule] ·at the suffering [or the despair] of the innocent.
24 When the ·land [earth] ·falls [L is given] into the ·hands [power] of evil people,
he covers the judges’ faces so they can’t see it.
If it is not God who does this, then who is it?
Job 9:21-24
New American Standard Bible
21 I am (A)guiltless;
I do not take notice of myself;
I (B)reject my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He (C)destroys the guiltless and the wicked.’
23 If the whip kills suddenly,
He (D)mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth (E)is handed over to the wicked;
He (F)covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, then who is it?
