Verse 14 is found in chapter 6 of Job. Job reproaches his friends for failing precisely when he needed compassion most. He compares them to streams that appear promising but disappear when they are needed. He asks them to point out his specific error, showing that he is willing to hear correction if it can be demonstrated. The discussion begins shifting toward the central question: what specific sin could justify such suffering?

Celui qui souffre a droit à la compassion de son ami, Même quand il abandonnerait la crainte du Tout-Puissant.
Benignità dovrebbe essere usata dall’amico inverso colui ch’è tutto strutto; Ma esso ha abbandonato il timor dell’Onnipotente,
Ao que está aflito devia o amigo mostrar compaixão, ainda ao que deixasse o temor do Todo-Poderoso.
「灰心的人,他的朋友當以慈愛待他, 因為他將離棄敬畏全能者的心。
