Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.

Verse 23 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.

Er gibt ihnen, daß sie sicher seien und eine Stütze haben; und seine Augen sind über ihren Wegen.
Le dieron a crédito, y se afirmó: Sus ojos están sobre los caminos de ellos.
Dios les concede seguridad y se apoyan en ella; pero sus ojos vigilan sus caminos.
Il leur donne de la sécurité et de la confiance, Il a les regards sur leurs voies.
Pur nondimeno Iddio dà loro a che potersi sicuramente appoggiare, E gli occhi suoi sono sopra le lor vie.
Se Deus lhes dá descanso, estribam-se nisso; seus olhos porém estão nos caminhos deles.
上帝使他安穩,他就有所倚靠; 上帝的眼目看顧他們的道路。
