Job 9:23-29

1. 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

2. 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

3. 25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

4. 26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

5. 27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

6. 28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

7. 29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
