I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Verse 26 is found in chapter 3 of Job. Job asks why life is given to those who suffer and wait for death. The section ends by revealing that his anguish is not an isolated episode: what he feared has happened, and his peace has disappeared. The language portrays an experience of existential disorientation in which even the life granted by God seems difficult to understand.

War ich nicht glückselig? War ich nicht fein stille? Hatte ich nicht gute Ruhe? Und es kommt solche Unruhe!
No he tenido paz, no me aseguré, ni me estuve reposado; Vínome no obstante turbación.
No tengo paz ni tranquilidad ni descanso; solo me llega la agitación».
Je n'ai ni tranquillité, ni paix, ni repos, Et le trouble s'est emparé de moi.
Io non ho avuta tranquillità, nè riposo, nè quiete; Ed è venuto il turbamento
Nunca estive tranqüilo, nem sosseguei, nem repousei, mas veio sobre mim a perturbação.
我不得安逸,不得平靜, 也不得安息,卻有患難來到。」
