His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 5 of Job. Eliphaz continues describing human existence as marked by affliction and recommends seeking God. His counsel combines a valid observation about human frailty with a specific interpretation: he assumes that Job’s calamity must be addressed through a response appropriate to a sinner being disciplined.

Seine Kinder werden fern sein vom Heil und werden zerschlagen werden im Tor, da kein Erretter sein wird.
Sus hijos estarán lejos de la salud, Y en la puerta serán quebrantados, Y no habrá quien los libre.
Plus de prospérité pour ses fils; Ils sont foulés à la porte, et personne qui les délivre!
I suoi figliuoli son lungi dalla salvezza, E sono oppressati nella porta, senza che alcuno li riscuota.
Seus filhos estão longe da salvação; e são despedaçados às portas, e não há quem os livre.
他的兒女遠離穩妥之地, 在城門口被欺壓,無人搭救。
