The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

Verse 27 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.

Der Himmel wird seine Missetat eröffnen, und die Erde wird sich gegen ihn setzen.
Los cielos descubrirán su iniquidad, Y la tierra se levantará contra él.
Les cieux dévoileront son iniquité, Et la terre s'élèvera contre lui.
I cieli scopriranno la sua iniquità, E la terra si leverà contro a lui.
Os céus manifestarão a sua iniqüidade; e a terra se levantará contra ele.
天要顯明他的罪孽, 地要興起去攻擊他。
