And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

Verse 8 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 mich runzlig gemacht, das zeugt wider mich; und mein Elend steht gegen mich auf und verklagt mich ins Angesicht.
Tú me has arrugado; testigo es mi flacura, Que se levanta contra mí para testificar en mi rostro.
Tu m'as saisi, pour témoigner contre moi; Ma maigreur se lève, et m'accuse en face.
E mi hai fatto diventar tutto grinzo, Il che è un testimonio del mio male; La mia magrezza si leva contro a me, e mi testifica contra in faccia.
Testemunha disto é que já me fizeste enrugado, e a minha magreza já se levanta contra mim, e no meu rosto testifica contra mim.
你抓住我 ,成為見證起來攻擊我; 我的枯瘦也當著我的面作證。
