Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

Verse 22 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.

Du hebst mich auf und lässest mich auf dem Winde fahren und zerschmelzest mich kräftig.
Levantásteme, e hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, Y disolviste mi sustancia.
Me levantas sobre el viento, me haces cabalgar en él y me deshaces en la tormenta.
Tu me soulèves, tu me fais voler au-dessus du vent, Et tu m'anéantis au bruit de la tempête.
Tu mi hai levato ad alto; tu mi fai cavalcar sopra il vento, E fai struggere in me ogni virtù.
Levantas-me sobre o vento, fazes-me cavalgar sobre ele, e derretes-me o ser.
你把我提到風中,使我乘風而去, 使我消失在烈風之中。
