Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 18 of Job. Bildad again describes the destiny of the wicked through a long series of images of darkness, traps, loss, and terror. The speech presents a traditional pattern of judgment against the wicked, but its implicit application to Job becomes increasingly problematic. The description of the wicked person’s fate functions almost as a personal accusation.

Und doch wird das Licht der Gottlosen verlöschen, und der Funke seines Feuers wird nicht leuchten.
Ciertamente la luz de los impíos será apagada, Y no resplandecerá la centella de su fuego.
Ciertamente se apagará la luz de los malvados y no brillará la llama de su fuego.
La lumière du méchant s'éteindra, Et la flamme qui en jaillit cessera de briller.
Sì, la luce degli empi sarà spenta, E niuna favilla del fuoco loro rilucerà.
Na verdade, a luz dos ímpios se apagará, e a chama do seu fogo não resplandecerá.
「惡人的亮光必要熄滅, 他的火焰必不照耀。
