Job 9:21-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

21. Though I am blameless,I no longer care about myself;I renounce my life.

22. It is all the same. Therefore I say,“He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.”

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

24. The earth is handed over to the wicked;He blindfolds its judges. If it isn’t He, then who is it?

25. My days fly by faster than a runner; they flee without seeing any good.

26. They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

27. If I said, “I will forget my complaint,change my expression, and smile,”
