Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 4 of Job. Eliphaz recounts a nighttime experience in which a presence communicates the frailty of human beings before God. The argument emphasizes that no mortal can consider himself absolutely righteous before the Creator. The statement contains a theological truth about human limitation, but within the dialogue it will be used to interpret Job’s specific situation inadequately.

Und zu mir ist gekommen ein heimlich Wort, und mein Ohr hat ein Wörtlein davon empfangen.
El negocio también me era a mí oculto; Mas mi oído ha percibido algo de ello.
Una palabra me llegó en secreto y mi oído captó un susurro de ella.
Une parole est arrivée furtivement jusqu'à moi, Et mon oreille en a recueilli les sons légers.
Or mi è stata di nascosto significata una parola, E l’orecchio mio ne ha ritenuto un poco.
Uma coisa me foi trazida em segredo; e os meus ouvidos perceberam um sussurro dela.
「有話暗中傳遞給我, 耳朵聽其微小的聲音。
