Verse 11 is found in chapter 6 of Job. Job responds that his pain weighs more than the sand of the sea and explains that his words must be understood in light of the magnitude of his suffering. He describes his anguish through images of divine arrows and unbearable food. He is not presenting an organized doctrinal rebellion, but trying to communicate an experience his friends have underestimated.

¿Cuál es mi fortaleza para esperar aún? ¿Y cuál mi fin para dilatar mi vida?

Pourquoi espérer quand je n'ai plus de force? Pourquoi attendre quand ma fin est certaine?
Quale è la mia forza, per isperare? E quale è il termine che mi è posto, per prolungar l’aspettazione dell’anima mia?
