Verse 20 is found in chapter 36 of Job. Elihu warns Job against interpreting his suffering solely as condemnation and invites him to contemplate God’s greatness. He describes God as incomparably great and beyond humanity’s ability to understand fully. The exhortation prepares the transition from verbal debate toward direct contemplation of creation.

Du darfst der Nacht nicht begehren, welche Völker wegnimmt von ihrer Stätte.
No anheles la noche, En que desaparecen los pueblos de su lugar.
No anheles la noche en que los pueblos son arrancados de su lugar.
Ne soupire pas après la nuit, Qui enlève les peuples de leur place.
Non ansar dietro a quella notte, Nella quale i popoli periscono a fondo.
Não suspires pela noite, em que os povos sejam tomados do seu lugar.
不要切慕黑夜, 就是眾民在本處被除滅的時候。
