Verse 16 is found in chapter 22 of Job. Eliphaz interprets the prosperity of the wicked as an apparent contradiction of God’s presence and accuses Job of thinking in this way. He contrasts the destiny of the wicked with the supposed restoration of the righteous. The discussion again revolves around whether the moral order can be directly observed in human circumstances.

die vergangen sind, ehe denn es Zeit war, und das Wasser hat ihren Grund weggewaschen;
Los cuales fueron cortados antes de tiempo, Cuyo fundamento fue como un río derramado:
que fueron arrebatados antes de tiempo y cuyos cimientos arrasó un río?
Ils ont été emportés avant le temps, Ils ont eu la durée d'un torrent qui s'écoule.
I quali sono stati ricisi fuor di tempo, E il cui fondamento è scorso come un fiume;
Eles foram arrebatados antes do seu tempo; sobre o seu fundamento um dilúvio se derramou.
他們未到時候就被抓去 ; 他們的根基被江河沖去。
