Job 9:23

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

In context

21 Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.

22 It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

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

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
