Verse 15 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.

Wer ist der Allmächtige, daß wir ihm dienen sollten? oder was sind wir gebessert, so wir ihn anrufen?"
¿Quién es el Todopoderoso, para que le sirvamos? ¿Y de qué nos aprovechará que oremos a él?
Qu'est-ce que le Tout-Puissant, pour que nous le servions? Que gagnerons-nous à lui adresser nos prières?
Che è l’Onnipotente, che noi gli serviamo? E che profitto faremo se lo preghiamo?
Quem é o Todo-Poderoso, para que nós o sirvamos? E que nos aproveitará que lhe façamos orações?
全能者是誰,我們何必事奉他呢? 求告他有甚麼益處呢?』
