If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 27 of Job. Job describes the consequences that may eventually reach the wicked person’s household: loss of descendants, wealth, security, and reputation. The language retains elements of traditional wisdom concerning retribution. Within the book’s structure, this statement should be read alongside his earlier observations that judgment is not always immediate or visible.

wird er viele Kinder haben, so werden sie des Schwertes sein; und seine Nachkömmlinge werden des Brots nicht satt haben.
Si sus hijos fueren multiplicados, serán para el cuchillo; Y sus pequeños no se hartarán de pan;
aunque tenga muchos hijos, serán para la espada, y sus descendientes no se saciarán de pan.
S'il a des fils en grand nombre, c'est pour le glaive, Et ses rejetons manquent de pain;
Se i suoi figliuoli moltiplicano, ciò è per la spada; E i suoi discendenti non saranno satollati di pane.
Se os seus filhos se multiplicarem, será para a espada, e a sua prole não se fartará de pão.
倘若他的兒女增多,仍被刀所殺; 他的子孫必不得飽食。
