Job 9:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² It all amounts to the same thing. That’s why I say,
    ‘God destroys honest people and sinful people alike.’
²³ Suppose a plague brings sudden death.
    Then he laughs when those who haven’t sinned lose hope.
²⁴ Suppose a nation falls into the power of sinful people.
    Then God makes its judges blind to the truth.
    If he isn’t the one doing it, who is?
