Verse 23 is found in chapter 15 of Job. Eliphaz describes the destiny of the wicked through images of anguish, fear, hunger, and destruction. His portrait functions as a general explanation of moral judgment, but within the dialogue it becomes an indirect accusation. The structure of the argument maintains the retributive logic: visible calamity equals prior wickedness.

Il court çà et là pour chercher du pain, Il sait que le jour des ténèbres l'attend.
Egli va tapinando per cercar dove sia del pane; Egli sa che ha in mano tutto presto il giorno delle tenebre.
Anda vagueando por pão, dizendo: Onde está? Bem sabe que já o dia das trevas lhe está preparado, à mão.
他飄流在外求食:『哪裏有食物呢?』 他知道黑暗的日子在他手邊預備好了。
