Job 9:21

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.

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.
