Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

Verse 7 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.

sondern der Mensch wird zu Unglück geboren, wie die Vögel schweben, emporzufliegen.
Empero como las centellas se levantan para volar por el aire, Así el hombre nace para la aflicción.
L'homme naît pour souffrir, Comme l'étincelle pour voler.
Benchè l’uomo nasca per soffrire, Come le faville delle brace per volare in alto.
Mas o homem nasce para a tribulação, como as faíscas se levantam para voar.
人生出來必遭遇患難, 如同火花 飛騰。
