Verse 12 is found in chapter 15 of Job. Eliphaz responds by accusing Job of speaking presumptuously. He states that the traditional knowledge of the ancients confirms human corruption. The problem is not that the speech denies human sinfulness, but that it uses it to automatically interpret Job’s individual suffering without demonstrating his supposed sin.

Was nimmt dein Herz vor? was siehst du so stolz?
¿Por qué te enajena tu corazón, Y por qué guiñan tus ojos,
¿Por qué te arrebata tu corazón? ¿Por qué centellean tus ojos,
Où ton coeur t'entraîne-t-il, Et que signifie ce roulement de tes yeux?
Perchè ti trasporta il cuor tuo? E perchè ammiccano gli occhi tuoi,
Por que te arrebata o teu coração, e por que piscam os teus olhos?
你的心為何失控, 你的眼為何冒火,
