Verse 3 is found in chapter 10 of Job. Job begins a direct speech to God and asks to know the reason for his affliction. He remembers that God himself formed him, gave him life, and sustained him. The question is especially intense because the same God who carefully created Job now seems to act against him. The conflict is located between creation, providence, and suffering.

Gefällt dir's, daß du Gewalt tust und mich verwirfst, den deine Hände gemacht haben, und bringst der Gottlosen Vornehmen zu Ehren?
¿Parécete bien que oprimas, Que deseches la obra de tus manos, Y que resplandezcas sobre el consejo de los impíos?
¿Te parece bien oprimir, rechazar la obra de tus manos y mirar con favor los planes de los malvados?
Te paraît-il bien de maltraiter, De repousser l'ouvrage de tes mains, Et de faire briller ta faveur sur le conseil des méchants?
Ti par egli ben fatto di oppressare, Di sdegnar l’opera delle tue mani, E di risplendere sopra il consiglio degli empi?
Parece-te bem que me oprimas, que rejeites o trabalho das tuas mãos e resplandeças sobre o conselho dos ímpios?
你手所造的,你又欺壓,又藐視, 卻光照惡人的計謀。 這事你以為美嗎?
