Job 9:22 Context
20If I iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prooue me peruerse. 21Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soule: I would despise my life. 22This is one thing, therefore I said it; he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 23If the scourge slay suddenly, hee will laugh at the triall of the innocent. 24The earth is giuen into the hand of the wicked: he couereth the faces of the Iudges thereof; if not, where, and who is hee?

Wesley's Notes for Job 9:22
