And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 11 of Job. Zophar describes God’s incomprehensibility and the impossibility of escaping his knowledge. He states that repentance would bring restoration and security. The passage presents a high view of divine transcendence, but again connects Job’s situation with an alleged need for repentance, something the book’s prologue has already called into question.

und dürftest dich dessen trösten, daß Hoffnung da sei; würdest dich umsehen und in Sicherheit schlafen legen;
Y confiarás, que habrá esperanza; Y cavarás, y dormirás seguro:
Tendrás confianza, porque habrá esperanza; mirarás alrededor y te acostarás seguro.
Tu seras plein de confiance, et ton attente ne sera plus vaine; Tu regarderas autour de toi, et tu reposeras en sûreté.
E sarai in sicurtà; perciocchè vi sarà che sperare; E pianterai il tuo padiglione, e giacerai sicuramente;
E terás confiança, porque haverá esperança; olharás em volta e repousarás seguro.
你因有指望就必穩固, 也必四圍察看 ,安然躺下。
