Job 9

²¹ Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.

²² It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

²³ When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.

²⁴ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

²⁵ My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
