For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

Verse 23 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.

Denn ich weiß du wirst mich dem Tod überantworten; da ist das bestimmte Haus aller Lebendigen.
Porque yo conozco que me reduces a la muerte; Y a la casa determinada a todo viviente.
Porque sé que me conduces a la muerte, a la casa destinada a todo ser viviente.
Car, je le sais, tu me mènes à la mort, Au rendez-vous de tous les vivants.
Io so certamente che tu mi ridurrai alla morte, Ed alla casa assegnata ad ogni vivente.
Porque eu sei que me levarás à morte e à casa do ajuntamento determinada a todos os viventes.
我知道你要使我歸於死亡, 到那為眾生所定的陰宅。
