The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.

Verse 18 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?

Die Reisezüge gehen ab vom Wege, sie treten aufs Ungebahnte und kommen um;
Apártanse de la senda de su rumbo, Van menguando y piérdense.
Las caravanas se apartan de su camino, se internan en el desierto y perecen.
Les caravanes se détournent de leur chemin, S'enfoncent dans le désert, et périssent.
I sentieri del corso loro si contorcono, Essi si riducono a nulla, e si perdono.
Desviam-se as veredas dos seus caminhos; sobem ao vácuo, e perecem.
商隊偏離道路, 上到荒涼之地而死亡。
