Job 9:22
Compare all
20 Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me;
Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.
21 “I am blameless, yet I do not know myself;
I despise my life.
22 It is all one thing;
Therefore I say, a‘He destroys the blameless and the wicked.’ 
23 If the scourge slays suddenly,
He laughs at the plight 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 else could it be?
25 “Now amy days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good. 
26 They pass by like1 swift ships,
aLike an eagle swooping on its prey.
