Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

Verse 35 is found in chapter 31 of Job. Job ends his defense by wishing that someone would respond to his declaration of innocence. He wants his accusation written and formally presented, as though he carried an authoritative sign upon himself. He then again describes his treatment of the land and ends his words. The structure marks the conclusion of his great defense before Elihu’s intervention.

O hätte ich einen, der mich anhört! Siehe, meine Unterschrift, der Allmächtige antworte mir!, und siehe die Schrift, die mein Verkläger geschrieben!
¡Quién me diera quien me oyese! He aquí mi impresión es que el Omnipotente testificaría por mí, Aunque mi adversario me hiciera el proceso.
¡Ojalá tuviera alguien que me escuchara! ¡Aquí está mi firma! ¡Que el Todopoderoso me responda! ¡Que mi adversario escriba su acusación!
Oh! qui me fera trouver quelqu'un qui m'écoute? Voilà ma défense toute signée: Que le Tout-Puissant me réponde! Qui me donnera la plainte écrite par mon adversaire?
Oh! avessi io pure chi mi ascoltasse! Ecco, il mio desiderio è Che l’Onnipotente mi risponda, O che colui che litiga meco mi faccia una scritta;
Ah! quem me dera um que me ouvisse! Eis que o meu desejo é que o Todo-Poderoso me responda, e que o meu adversário escreva um livro.
惟願有一位肯聽我! 看哪,我的記號,願全能者回答我! 願那與我爭訟的寫下狀詞!
