Verse 20 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.

"Fürwahr, unser Widersacher ist verschwunden; und sein Übriggelassenes hat das Feuer verzehrt."
Fue cortada nuestra sustancia, Habiendo consumido el fuego el resto de ellos.
Voilà nos adversaires anéantis! Voilà leurs richesses dévorées par le feu!
Se la nostra sostanza non è stata distrutta, Pure ha il fuoco consumato il lor rimanente
Porquanto o nosso adversário não foi destruído, mas o fogo consumiu o que restou deles.
『攻擊我們的果然被剪除, 剩餘的都被火吞滅。』
