Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,

Verse 5 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.

Oder ist deine Zeit wie eines Menschen Zeit, oder deine Jahre wie eines Mannes Jahre?
¿Son tus días como los días del hombre, O tus años como los tiempos humanos,
¿Son tus días como los días de un mortal y tus años como los de un hombre,
Tes jours sont-ils comme les jours de l'homme, Et tes années comme ses années,
Sono i tuoi giorni come i giorni dell’uomo mortale? Sono i tuoi anni come l’età umana?
São os teus dias como os dias do homem? Ou são os teus anos como os anos de um homem,
你的日子豈像人的日子, 你的年歲豈像壯士的年歲,
