God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 16 of Job. Job calls his friends miserable comforters and contrasts his situation with what he would do if they were suffering. He describes God through images of an adversary who delivers him to violence. The language should be read as poetry of lament: it expresses Job’s perception from within pain, not an independent narrative description of God’s character.

Gott hat mich übergeben dem Ungerechten und hat mich in der Gottlosen Hände kommen lassen.
Hame entregado Dios al mentiroso, Y en las manos de los impíos me hizo estremecer.
Dios me entrega a gente perversa y me arroja en manos de los malvados.
Dieu me livre à la merci des impies, Il me précipite entre les mains des méchants.
Iddio mi ha messo in poter del perverso, E mi ha fatto cader nelle mani degli empi.
Entrega-me Deus ao perverso, e nas mãos dos ímpios me faz cair.
上帝把我交給不敬虔的人, 把我扔到惡人的手中。
