All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

Verse 26 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.

Es ist keine Finsternis da, die ihn verdecken möchte. Es wird ihn ein Feuer verzehren, das nicht angeblasen ist; und wer übrig ist in seiner Hütte, dem wird's übel gehen.
Todas tinieblas están guardadas para sus secretos: Fuego no soplado lo devorará; Su sucesor será quebrantado en su tienda.
Todas las tinieblas están reservadas para sus tesoros. Lo consumirá un fuego que nadie ha avivado y devorará lo que quede en su tienda.
Toutes les calamités sont réservées à ses trésors; Il sera consumé par un feu que n'allumera point l'homme, Et ce qui restera dans sa tente en deviendra la pâture.
Tutte le tenebre saran nascoste ne’ suoi nascondimenti; Un fuoco non soffiato lo divorerà; Chi sopravviverà nel suo tabernacolo, capiterà male.
Toda a escuridão se ocultará nos seus esconderijos; um fogo não assoprado o consumirá, irá mal com o que ficar na sua tenda.
他的財寶隱藏在深沉的黑暗裏; 有非人吹起的火要把他吞滅, 把他帳棚中所剩下的燒燬。
