Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

Verse 31 is found in chapter 21 of Job. Job states that rich and poor alike end up in the dust and accuses his friends of presenting an explanation that does not correspond to reality. He also observes that wicked people may receive honor even after death. His argument again separates the general doctrine of divine justice from the expectation that every moral consequence must be immediately visible.

Wer will ihm ins Angesicht sagen, was er verdient? wer will ihm vergelten, was er tut?
¿Quién le denunciará en su cara su camino? Y de lo que él hizo, ¿quién le dará el pago?
Qui lui reproche en face sa conduite? Qui lui rend ce qu'il a fait?
Chi gli rappresenterà la sua via in faccia? E chi gli farà la retribuzione di ciò ch’egli ha fatto?
Quem acusará diante dele o seu caminho, e quem lhe dará o pago do que faz?
他所行的,有誰當面給他說明? 他所做的,有誰報應他呢?
