Job 20:26

All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

KJV

Omnes tenebræ absconditæ sunt in occultis ejus ; devorabit eum ignis qui non succenditur : affligetur relictus in tabernaculo suo.

Vulgate

πᾶν δὲ σκότος αὐτῷ ὑπομείναι· κατέδεται αὐτὸν πῦρ ἄκαυστον, κακώσαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπήλυτος τὸν οἶκον.

LXX

All darkness is laid up for his treasures: A fire not blown by man shall devour him; It shall consume that which is left in his tent.
