Verse 2 is found in chapter 20 of Job. Zophar describes the brevity of the wicked person’s triumph and his inevitable downfall. His argument begins with a traditional moral observation: unjust prosperity cannot last forever. Yet as a response to Job, the speech avoids the problem he raises: there are sufferings and prosperities whose immediate relationship to moral conduct is not evident.

Darauf muß ich antworten und kann nicht harren.
Por cierto mis pensamientos me hacen responder, Y por tanto me apresuro.
«Mis pensamientos me impulsan a responder, pues estoy lleno de agitación.
Mes pensées me forcent à répondre, Et mon agitation ne peut se contenir.
Perciò i miei pensamenti m’incitano a rispondere, E perciò questa mia fretta è in me.
Visto que os meus pensamentos me fazem responder, eu me apresso.
「這樣,我的思念叫我回答, 因為我心中急躁。
