It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

Verse 25 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.

Ein bloßes Schwert wird durch ihn ausgehen; und des Schwertes Blitz, der ihm bitter sein wird, wird mit Schrecken über ihn fahren.
Desenvainará y sacará saeta de su aljaba, Y relumbrante pasará por su hiel: Sobre él vendrán terrores.
Se arrancará la flecha y saldrá de su espalda; la punta reluciente saldrá de su hiel. Lo invadirán los terrores.
Il arrache de son corps le trait, Qui étincelle au sortir de ses entrailles, Et il est en proie aux terreurs de la mort.
Come prima la saetta sarà tratta fuori, La punta gli passerà per mezzo il fiele, Dopo esser uscita del suo turcasso; Spaventi gli saranno addosso.
Desembainhará a espada que sairá do seu corpo, e resplandecendo virá do seu fel; e haverá sobre ele assombros.
箭一抽,就從他背上出來, 發亮的箭頭從他膽中出來; 有驚惶臨到他身上。
