Job 9:26

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

In context

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.

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

27 If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’

28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
