He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 24 of Job. Job continues describing those who act in darkness and avoid the light, contrasting them with vulnerable victims. The section recognizes that real and deliberate evil exists, but observes that its consequences do not always appear immediately. Job concludes by defending the consistency of his observation against those who maintain a visible and automatic system of retribution.

Aber Gott erhält die Mächtigen durch seine Kraft, daß sie wieder aufstehen, wenn sie am Leben verzweifelten.
Mas a los fuertes adelantó con su poder: Levantóse, y no se da por segura la vida.
Arrastra con su fuerza a los poderosos; se levanta y nadie tiene segura la vida.
Non! Dieu par sa force prolonge les jours des violents, Et les voilà debout quand ils désespéraient de la vie;
E traggano giù i possenti con la lor forza; E, quando si levano, altri non si assicuri della vita;
Até aos poderosos arrasta com a sua força; se ele se levanta, não há vida segura.
然而上帝用能力保全有勢力的人; 那性命難保的人仍然興起。
