Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 23 of Job. Job recognizes that God is sovereign and that his purposes cannot be altered by human beings, but immediately asks why the times of judgment seem hidden. He describes cases of oppression against the poor, orphans, and needy. The argument expands from his personal suffering to the universal problem of the apparent delay of justice.

Darum erschrecke ich vor ihm; und wenn ich's bedenke, so fürchte ich mich vor ihm.
Por lo cual yo me espanto en su presencia: Consideraré, y temerelo.
Por eso me aterro en su presencia; cuando lo considero, siento miedo de él.
Voilà pourquoi sa présence m'épouvante; Quand j'y pense, j'ai peur de lui.
Perciò io sono smarrito per cagion di lui; Se io ci penso, io ho spavento di lui.
Por isso me perturbo perante ele, e quando isto considero, temo-me dele.
所以我在他面前驚惶; 我思想就懼怕他。
