This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 9 of Job. Job develops the image of a God whose strength no mortal can resist. If he attempted to present his case before God, he fears that even his own defense would be ineffective. The tension is not a denial of divine justice, but a question of how that justice can be affirmed when personal experience seems to contradict it.

Es ist eins, darum sage ich: Er bringt um beide, den Frommen und den Gottlosen.
Una cosa resta que yo diga: Al perfecto y al impío él los consume.
Todo es lo mismo. Por eso digo: él acaba tanto con el íntegro como con el malvado.
Qu'importe après tout? Car, j'ose le dire, Il détruit l'innocent comme le coupable.
Egli è tutt’uno; perciò ho detto: Egli distrugge ugualmente l’uomo intiero e l’empio.
A coisa é esta; por isso eu digo que ele consome ao perfeito e ao ímpio.
所以我說,都是一樣; 完全人和惡人,他都滅絕。
