Job 9:26

World English Bible (WEB)

They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

25 “Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good.

26 They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up,’

28 I am afraid of all my sorrows. I know that you will not hold me innocent.
