Job 9:22-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
22It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys the guiltless and the wicked.’ 23If the whip kills suddenly, He mocks the despair of the innocent. 24The earth is handed over to the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it? 25'Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good. 26They slip by like reed boats, Like an eagle that swoops on its prey. 27Though I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put my face in order and be cheerful,’King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
22It is all the same. Therefore I say, "He destroys both the blameless and the wicked." 23When catastrophe brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24The earth is handed over to the wicked; he blindfolds its judges. If it isn't he, then who is it?
25My days fly by faster than a runner; they flee without seeing any good.
26They sweep by like boats made of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
27If I said, "I will forget my complaint, change my expression, and smile,"
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
22Innocent or wicked, it is all the same to God. That’s why I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’ 23When a plague sweeps through, he laughs at the death of the innocent. 24The whole earth is in the hands of the wicked, and God blinds the eyes of the judges. If he’s not the one who does it, who is?English Standard Version
Chapter 9
22It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’ 23When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity of the innocent. 24The 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. 26They go by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on the prey. 27If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and be of good cheer,’New International Version
Chapter 9
22It is all the same; that is why I say, 'He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.' 23When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?
25My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy.
26They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey.
27If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,'
New King James Version
