Job 9:24 Douay-Rheims

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then?

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Wicked one, (Haydock) the devil, (Menochius) or any impious person who enjoys prosperity. He, (Calmet) or even God permissively, covered the face, (Haydock) by bribes; so that judges pass sentence unjustly. — Then. If it be not the devil, (Menochius) or God. (Calmet)
