New Testament

Job 9:22-28 English Standard Version (ESV)

22. It is all one; therefore I say,‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

23. When disaster brings sudden death,he mocks at the calamity 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 then is it?

25. “My days are swifter than a runner;they flee away; they see no good.

26. They go by like skiffs of reed,like an eagle swooping on the prey.

27. If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,I will put off my sad face, and be of good cheer,’

28. I become afraid of all my suffering,for I know you will not hold me innocent.
