He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.

Verse 14 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.

Er hat mir eine Wunde über die andere gemacht; er ist an mich gelaufen wie ein Gewaltiger.
Quebrantome de quebranto sobre quebranto; Corrió contra mí como un gigante.
Me abre brecha tras brecha; se lanza contra mí como un guerrero.
Il me fait brèche sur brèche, Il fond sur moi comme un guerrier.
Egli mi rompe di rottura sopra rottura, Egli mi corre addosso come un possente uomo.
Fere-me com ferimento sobre ferimento; arremete contra mim como um valente.
他使我破裂,破裂又破裂, 如同勇士向我直闖。
