Verse 6 is found in chapter 8 of Job. Bildad responds by firmly defending divine justice. He considers the death of Job’s children evidence that there was transgression and maintains that God does not pervert justice. His reasoning reflects traditional retributive theology: if someone suffers severe calamity, there must be a corresponding moral cause.

und so du rein und fromm bist, so wird er aufwachen zu dir und wird wieder aufrichten deine Wohnung um deiner Gerechtigkeit willen;
Si fueres limpio y derecho, Cierto luego se despertará sobre ti, Y hará próspera la morada de tu justicia.
si eres puro y recto, sin duda él se levantará por ti y restaurará tu justa morada.
Si tu es juste et droit, Certainement alors il veillera sur toi, Et rendra le bonheur à ton innocente demeure;
Se tu sei puro e diritto, Certamente egli si risveglierà di presente in favor tuo, E farà prosperare il tuo giusto abitacolo.
Se fores puro e reto, certamente logo despertará por ti, e restaurará a morada da tua justiça.
你若純潔正直, 他必定為你興起, 使你公義的居所興旺。
