Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 8 of Job. Bildad uses images of plants, spiderwebs, and houses being uprooted to describe the fragility of those who forget God. He also states that God can restore the person who seeks his favor. The speech retains an important conviction about the stability of divine justice, but cannot explain Job’s case without turning tragedy into evidence of guilt.

bis daß dein Mund voll Lachens werde und deine Lippen voll Jauchzens.
Aun henchirá tu boca de risa, Y tus labios de júbilo.
Todavía llenará de risa tu boca y de gritos de alegría tus labios.
Il remplira ta bouche de cris de joie, Et tes lèvres de chants d'allégresse.
Ancora empierà egli la tua bocca di riso, E le tue labbra di giubilo.
Até que de riso te encha a boca, e os teus lábios de júbilo.
他還要以喜笑充滿你的口, 以歡呼充滿你的嘴唇。
