My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 30 of Job. Job returns to physical pain and states that his body and life are wasting away. He describes God as the one to whom he cries without receiving an answer, using images of wind and destruction. The lament preserves the book’s fundamental tension: Job continues speaking to God even though he feels that God remains silent before his request.

Des Nachts wird mein Gebein durchbohrt allenthalben; und die mich nagen, legen sich nicht schlafen.
De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, Y mis pulsos no reposan.
De noche mis huesos son taladrados y los dolores que me roen no descansan.
La nuit me perce et m'arrache les os, La douleur qui me ronge ne se donne aucun repos,
Di notte egli mi trafigge l’ossa addosso; E le mie arterie non hanno alcuna posa.
De noite se me traspassam os meus ossos, e os meus nervos não descansam.
夜間,我裏面的骨頭刺痛, 啃著我的沒有止息。
