Verse 17 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.

so wird er es wohl bereiten; aber der Gerechte wird es anziehen, und der Unschuldige wird das Geld austeilen.
Habrala él preparado, mas el justo se vestirá, Y el inocente repartirá la plata.
C'est lui qui entasse, mais c'est le juste qui se revêt, C'est l'homme intègre qui a l'argent en partage.
Egli li avrà messi insieme, ma il giusto se ne vestirà, E l’innocente spartirà l’argento.
Ele as aparelhará, porém o justo as vestirá, e o inocente repartirá a prata.
他儘管堆積,義人卻要穿上, 無辜的人卻要分取銀子。
