Job 9:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 The earth is given into the hands 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 happiness;(A)
26 They shoot by like skiffs of reed,
like an eagle swooping upon its prey.
