Verse 8 is found in chapter 27 of Job. Job insists on his integrity and refuses to accept an accusation he considers false. He declares that as long as he has life he will not abandon his righteousness. He also describes the destiny of the wicked, showing that his disagreement with his friends does not mean he has abandoned the conviction that judgment exists. His dispute concerns the identification of the righteous and wicked in the specific case.

Denn was ist die Hoffnung des Heuchlers, wenn Gott ein Ende mit ihm macht und seine Seele hinreißt?
Porque ¿cuál es la esperanza del hipócrita, por mucho que hubiere robado, Cuando Dios arrebatare su alma?
Porque ¿qué esperanza tiene el impío cuando es cortado, cuando Dios le quita la vida?
Quelle espérance reste-t-il à l'impie, Quand Dieu coupe le fil de sa vie, Quand il lui retire son âme?
Perciocchè qual sarà la speranza dell’ipocrita, Quando, dopo ch’egli avrà ben guadagnato, Iddio gli strapperà fuori l’anima?
Porque qual será a esperança do hipócrita, havendo sido avaro, quando Deus lhe arrancar a sua alma?
不敬虔的人有甚麼指望呢? 上帝要剪除他,取他的性命。
