But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 14 of Job. Job imagines that God could call him again and that he would answer that call. The possibility of being remembered by God appears as hope against corruption and oblivion. Yet the speech ends by returning to present pain, showing that Job’s hope still coexists with an immediate experience of deterioration.

Nur sein eigen Fleisch macht ihm Schmerzen, und seine Seele ist ihm voll Leides.
Mas su carne sobre él se dolerá, Y entristecerse ha en él su alma.
C'est pour lui seul qu'il éprouve de la douleur en son corps, C'est pour lui seul qu'il ressent de la tristesse en son âme.
La sua carne si duole sol di lui, E l’anima sua fa cordoglio sol di lui
Mas a sua carne nele tem dores; e a sua alma nele lamenta.
他只覺得身上疼痛, 心中為自己悲哀。」
