Verse 12 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.

Ist doch meine Kraft nicht steinern und mein Fleisch nicht ehern.
¿Es mi fortaleza la de las piedras? ¿O mi carne, es de acero?
¿Es mi fuerza la de las piedras? ¿Es mi carne de bronce?
Ma force est-elle une force de pierre? Mon corps est-il d'airain?
La mia forza è ella come la forza delle pietre? La mia carne è ella di rame?
É porventura a minha força a força da pedra? Ou é de cobre a minha carne?
我的氣力豈是石頭的氣力? 我的肉身豈是銅呢?
