Job 9:26

“They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.”

Verse in context — Job 9

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?

Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away, they see no good,

They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
