And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 38 of Job. God asks Job whether he can command the dawn, understand the boundaries of the earth, and know the places of light and darkness. The questions do not merely present cosmological information: they seek to show that Job does not possess a complete perspective on the world God governs. The mystery of his suffering is placed within a much greater mystery.

Und den Gottlosen wird ihr Licht genommen, und der Arm der Hoffärtigen wird zerbrochen.
Mas la luz de los impíos es quitada de ellos, Y el brazo enaltecido es quebrantado.
A los malvados se les quita su luz y el brazo levantado es quebrado.
Pour que les méchants soient privés de leur lumière, Et que le bras qui se lève soit brisé?
E che la luce di queste cose sia divietata agli empi, E che il braccio altiero sia rotto?
E dos ímpios se desvie a sua luz, e o braço altivo se quebrante;
亮光不照惡人, 高舉的膀臂也必折斷。
