Verse 13 is found in chapter 40 of Job. God asks Job whether he still wishes to contend with the Almighty, and Job responds by acknowledging his smallness. God then challenges Job’s ability to govern the world, humble the proud, and establish universal justice. The passage clarifies that the issue was not simply that Job had suffered, but that he sought to judge God’s entire government from his limited perspective.

Verscharre sie miteinander in die Erde und versenke ihre Pracht ins Verborgene,
Encúbrelos a todos en el polvo, Venda sus rostros en la oscuridad;
Escóndelos juntos en el polvo; encierra sus rostros en lo oculto.
Cache-les tous ensemble dans la poussière, Enferme leur front dans les ténèbres!
Nascondili tutti nella polvere, E tura loro la faccia in grotte;
Esconde-os juntamente no pó; ata-lhes os rostos em oculto.
你將他們一同埋藏在塵土中, 把他們的臉遮蔽在隱密處 。
