Job 9:24
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
KJV
Terra data est in manus impii ; vultum judicum ejus operit. Quod si non ille est, quis ergo est ?
Vulgate
παραδέδονται γὰρ εἰς χεῖρας ἀσεβοῦς. πρόσωπα κριτῶν αὐτῆς συνκαλύπτει· εἰ δὲ μὴ αὐτός ἐστιν, τίς ἐστιν;
LXX
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: Ifit benothe, who then is it?
