It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 38 of Job. God asks Job whether he can command the dawn, understand the boundaries of the earth, and know the places of light and darkness. The questions do not merely present cosmological information: they seek to show that Job does not possess a complete perspective on the world God governs. The mystery of his suffering is placed within a much greater mystery.

Sie wandelt sich wie Ton unter dem Siegel, und alles steht da wie im Kleide.
Trasmúdase como lodo bajo de sello, Y viene a estar como con vestidura:
La tierra cambia como el barro bajo un sello y se muestra como una vestidura.
Pour que la terre se transforme comme l'argile qui reçoit une empreinte, Et qu'elle soit parée comme d'un vêtement;
E far che la terra si muti in diverse forme, come argilla stampata; E che quelle si appresentino alla vista come un vestimento?
E se transformasse como o barro sob o selo, e se pusessem como vestidos;
地改變如泥上蓋印, 萬物出現如衣服一樣。
