Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

Verse 8 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.

Deine Hände haben mich bereitet und gemacht alles, was ich um und um bin; und du wolltest mich verderben?
Tus manos me formaron y me compusieron Todo en contorno: ¿y así me deshaces?
Tus manos me formaron y me hicieron por entero; ¿y ahora me destruyes?
Tes mains m'ont formé, elles m'ont créé, Elles m'ont fait tout entier... Et tu me détruirais!
Le tue mani mi hanno formato e composto; E tu mi distruggi tutto quanto d’ogn’intorno.
As tuas mãos me fizeram e me formaram completamente; contudo me consomes.
你的手塑造我,造了我, 但我整個人卻要一起被你吞滅。
