Bible verse
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
Job 9:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 9.
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.
27 If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
