Job 9:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 This is one point: therefore I said, He destroyeth the [a]perfect and the wicked.
23 If the scourge should suddenly [b]slay, should God [c]laugh at the punishment of the innocent?
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: [d]he covereth the faces of the judges thereof: if not, where [e]is he? or who is he?
