Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

Verse 24 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.

Angst und Not schrecken ihn und schlagen ihn nieder wie ein König mit seinem Heer.
Tribulación y angustia le asombrarán, Y esforzaránse contra él como un rey apercibido para la batalla.
La aflicción y la angustia lo aterrorizan; lo dominan como un rey preparado para la batalla.
La détresse et l'angoisse l'épouvantent, Elles l'assaillent comme un roi prêt à combattre;
Angoscia e tribolazione lo spaventano; Lo sopraffanno come un re apparecchiato alla battaglia.
Assombram-no a angústia e a tribulação; prevalecem contra ele, como o rei preparado para a peleja;
急難困苦叫他害怕, 而且勝過他,好像君王預備上陣。
