For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 5 of Job. Eliphaz interprets suffering as discipline that can lead to restoration. He describes God as one who wounds but also heals and ultimately promises well-being to the person who receives correction. The theological problem is applying this logic directly to Job: the narrative has already informed the reader that his suffering does not result from a moral fault requiring correction.

sondern sein Bund wird sein mit den Steinen auf dem Felde, und die wilden Tiere im Lande werden Frieden mit dir halten.
Pues aun con las piedras del campo tendrás tu concierto, Y las bestias del campo te serán pacíficas.
Porque tendrás un pacto con las piedras del campo y las fieras del campo estarán en paz contigo.
Car tu feras alliance avec les pierres des champs, Et les bêtes de la terre seront en paix avec toi.
Perciocchè tu avrai patto eziandio con le pietre de’ campi; E le fiere della campagna ti saranno rendute pacifiche.
Porque até com as pedras do campo terás o teu acordo, e as feras do campo serão pacíficas contigo.
因為你必與田間的石頭立約, 田裏的野獸也必與你和好。
