Job 9:22-28 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. It is all the same. That is why I say,‘God destroys both the innocent and the evil people.’

23. A whip may bring sudden death.And God will laugh when good people suffer.

24. When land falls into the hands of evil people,God covers the judges’ faces so they can’t see it.If it is not God who does this, then who is it?

25. “My days go by faster than a runner.They fly away without my seeing even a little joy.

26. They glide past like boats made of papyrus plants.My days are like eagles that swoop down on animals they attack.

27. I might say, ‘I will forget my complaint.I will change the look on my face, and smile.’

28. But I will still dread all my suffering.I know you will hold me guilty.
