Verse 5 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.

Das Wild schreit nicht, wenn es Gras hat; der Ochse blökt nicht, wenn er sein Futter hat.
¿Acaso gime el asno montés junto a la hierba? ¿Muge el buey junto a su pasto?
¿Rebuzna el asno salvaje cuando tiene hierba? ¿Muge el buey junto a su alimento?
L'âne sauvage crie-t-il auprès de l'herbe tendre? Le boeuf mugit-il auprès de son fourrage?
L’asino salvatico raglia egli presso all’erba? Il bue mugghia egli presso alla sua pastura?
Porventura zurrará o jumento montês junto à relva? Ou mugirá o boi junto ao seu pasto?
野驢有草豈會叫喚? 牛有飼料豈會吼叫?
