Verse 5 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.

Kehrt euch her zu mir; ihr werdet erstarren und die Hand auf den Mund legen müssen.
Miradme, y espantaos, Y poned la mano sobre la boca.
Regardez-moi, soyez étonnés, Et mettez la main sur la bouche.
Riguardate a me, e stupite, E mettetevi la mano in su la bocca.
Olhai para mim, e pasmai; e ponde a mão sobre a boca.
你們要轉向我而驚奇, 要用手摀口。
