Verse 31 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.

Er wird nicht bestehen, denn er ist in seinem eiteln Dünkel betrogen; und eitel wird sein Lohn werden.
No confíe el iluso en la vanidad; Porque ella será su recompensa.
Que no se engañe confiando en lo vacío, porque lo vacío será su recompensa.
S'il a confiance dans le mal, il se trompe, Car le mal sera sa récompense.
Non confidisi già nella vanità, dalla quale è sedotto; Perciocchè egli muterà stato, e sarà ridotto al niente.
Não confie, pois, na vaidade, enganando-se a si mesmo, porque a vaidade será a sua recompensa.
不要讓他倚靠虛假,欺騙自己, 因虛假必成為他的報應。
