He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 20 of Job. The end of Zophar’s speech presents divine judgment as inevitable. The wicked person suffers calamity and loses the possessions he obtained. The section reaffirms Zophar’s confidence in an observable moral order, while the reader knows from the prologue that Job’s experience precisely challenges a simplistic application of that scheme.

Er wird fliehen vor dem eisernen Harnisch, und der eherne Bogen wird ihn verjagen.
Huirá de las armas de hierro, Y el arco de acero le atravesará.
Huirá de un arma de hierro, pero un arco de bronce lo atravesará.
S'il échappe aux armes de fer, L'arc d'airain le transpercera.
Quando egli fuggirà dalle armi di ferro, Un arco di rame lo trafiggerà.
Ainda que fuja das armas de ferro, o arco de bronze o atravessará.
他要躲避鐵的武器, 銅弓要將他射透。
