Job 24:22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Interconfessional

Yet God prolongs the life of the mighty by his power; they rise up when they despair of life.

See the chapter Copy

He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.

They of the west are appalled at their fate, and horror seizes those of the east.

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength —who has resisted him, and succeeded?—

with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk.”
