Verse 13 is found in chapter 21 of Job. Job asks his friends to listen before speaking again. He points out that some wicked people live many years, prosper, and appear secure. They even openly reject God. Job’s argument is empirical within the dialogue: the experience of the world does not always confirm that punishment for the wicked occurs immediately.

Sie werden alt bei guten Tagen und erschrecken kaum einen Augenblick vor dem Tode,
Gastan sus días en bien, Y en un momento descienden a la sepultura.
Ils passent leurs jours dans le bonheur, Et ils descendent en un instant au séjour des morts.
Logorano la loro età in piacere, E poi in un momento scendono nel sepolcro.
Na prosperidade gastam os seus dias, e num momento descem à sepultura.
他們度日諸事亨通, 在平安中下到陰間。
