Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

Verse 12 is found in chapter 27 of Job. Job insists on his integrity and refuses to accept an accusation he considers false. He declares that as long as he has life he will not abandon his righteousness. He also describes the destiny of the wicked, showing that his disagreement with his friends does not mean he has abandoned the conviction that judgment exists. His dispute concerns the identification of the righteous and wicked in the specific case.

Siehe, ihr haltet euch alle für klug; warum bringt ihr denn solch unnütze Dinge vor?
He aquí que todos vosotros lo habéis visto: ¿Por qué pues os desvanecéis con fantasía?
Todos ustedes lo han visto. ¿Por qué, entonces, hablan tantas cosas vacías?
Mais vous les connaissez, et vous êtes d'accord; Pourquoi donc vous laisser aller à de vaines pensées?
Ecco, voi tutti avete vedute queste cose; E perchè v’invanite così in vanità?
Eis que todos vós já o vistes; por que, pois, vos desvaneceis na vossa vaidade?
看哪,你們自己也都見過, 為何全變為這樣虛妄呢?
