Verse 14 is found in chapter 21 of Job. Job asks his friends to listen before speaking again. He points out that some wicked people live many years, prosper, and appear secure. They even openly reject God. Job’s argument is empirical within the dialogue: the experience of the world does not always confirm that punishment for the wicked occurs immediately.

die doch sagen zu Gott: "Hebe dich von uns, wir wollen von deinen Wegen nicht wissen!
Dicen pues a Dios: Apártate de nosotros, Que no queremos el conocimiento de tus caminos.

Ils disaient pourtant à Dieu: Retire-toi de nous; Nous ne voulons pas connaître tes voies.
Quantunque abbiano detto a Dio: Dipartiti da noi; Perciocchè noi non prendiam piacere nella conoscenza delle tue vie.
E, todavia, dizem a Deus: Retira-te de nós; porque não desejamos ter conhecimento dos teus caminhos.
他們對上帝說:『離開我們吧! 我們不想知道你的道路。
