Bible verse
It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
Job 9:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 9.
18 He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
19 If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?
20 Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
21 Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
22 It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23 When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
26 They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
