They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 21 of Job. Job asks how often the lamp of the wicked is actually extinguished and observes that both religious and wicked people can eventually face death. The section challenges the idea of perfectly visible retribution during life. The issue is not denying divine judgment, but questioning whether its timing and mechanism can always be identified.

daß sie werden wie Stoppeln vor dem Winde und wie Spreu, die der Sturmwind wegführt?
Serán como la paja delante del viento, Y como el tamo que arrebata el torbellino.
Qu'ils soient comme la paille emportée par le vent, Comme la balle enlevée par le tourbillon?
E che sieno come paglia al vento, E come pula che il turbo invola?
Porque são como a palha diante do vento, e como a pragana, que arrebata o redemoinho.
他們何嘗像風前的碎秸, 如暴風颳去的糠秕呢?
