Job 9:26

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.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
