Job 9:22-24
New Catholic Bible

22 “It is all the same; that is why I say,
    ‘He destroys both the innocent and the wicked.’
23 When a deadly scourge suddenly appears,
    he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 When the earth is given into the hands of the wicked,
    he blindfolds the eyes of its judges.[a]
If it is not he who does so,
    then who else is responsible?

Footnotes

  1. Job 9:24 Blindfolds the eyes of [the earth’s] judges: in our day, we portray Lady Justice as wearing a blindfold, meaning that she will be an impartial judge. Job accused God of blindfolding the judges of his time so that they would be oblivious to both crimes and innocence.
