Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

Verse 25 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.

Ich weinte ja über den, der harte Zeit hatte; und meine Seele jammerte der Armen.
¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?
¿No lloré por quien pasaba días difíciles? ¿No se entristeció mi alma por el necesitado?
N'avais-je pas des larmes pour l'infortuné? Mon coeur n'avait-il pas pitié de l'indigent?
Non piangeva io per cagion di colui che menava dura vita? L’anima mia non si addolorava ella per i bisognosi?
Porventura não chorei sobre aquele que estava aflito, ou não se angustiou a minha alma pelo necessitado?
人遭難的日子,我豈不為他哭泣呢? 人貧窮的時候,我豈不為他憂愁呢?
