Job 9:21
Verse 21 of 35. The 9th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
17For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
20Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
21I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.
22“It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
23If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?
25“Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good.
