Verse 5 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.

Ich habe einmal geredet, und will nicht antworten; zum andernmal will ich's nicht mehr tun.
Una vez hablé, y no responderé: Aun dos veces, mas no tornaré a hablar.
He hablado una vez y no responderé; dos veces, y no añadiré nada más».
J'ai parlé une fois, je ne répondrai plus; Deux fois, je n'ajouterai rien.
Io ho parlato una volta, ma non replicherò più; Anzi due, ma non continuerò più
Uma vez tenho falado, e não replicarei; ou ainda duas vezes, porém não prosseguirei.
我說了一次,就不回答; 說了兩次,不再說了。」
