His friends cannot offer him either an intellectual or emotional way out. The section intensifies the contrast between Job’s reputation for integrity and his public experience of shame and abandonment.

Darüber werden die Gerechten sich entsetzen, und die Unschuldigen werden sich entrüsten gegen die Heuchler.
Los rectos se maravillarán de esto, Y el inocente se levantará contra el hipócrita.
Los rectos quedan horrorizados ante esto y el inocente se indigna contra el impío.
Les hommes droits en sont stupéfaits, Et l'innocent se soulève contre l'impie.
Gli uomini diritti stupiranno di questo, E l’innocente se ne commoverà per cagion dell’ipocrita.
Os retos pasmarão disto, e o inocente se levantará contra o hipócrita.
正直人因此必驚奇; 無辜的人要興起攻擊不敬虔之輩。
