Context Readings

Job's Third Speech: A Response To Bildad

24 The earth is handed over to the wicked;
He blindfolds its judges.
If it isn’t He, then who is it?
25 My days fly by faster than a runner;
they flee without seeing any good.
26 They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,
like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
