I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

Verse 20 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.

Schreie ich zu dir, so antwortest du mir nicht; trete ich hervor, so achtest du nicht auf mich.
Clamo a ti, y no me oyes; Preséntome, y no me atiendes.
Clamo a ti y no me respondes; me pongo de pie y te limitas a mirarme.
Je crie vers toi, et tu ne me réponds pas; Je me tiens debout, et tu me lances ton regard.
Io grido a te, e tu non mi rispondi; Io mi presento davanti a te, e tu non poni mente a me.
Clamo a ti, porém, tu não me respondes; estou em pé, porém, para mim não atentas.
我呼求你,你不應允我; 我站起來,你只是望著我。
