אָ֚ז יִזְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א יַעֲנֶ֖ה אוֹתָ֑ם וְיַסְתֵּ֨ר פָּנָ֤יו מֵהֶם֙ בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔יא כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵרֵ֖עוּ מַעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃ (פ)
דרום װעלן זײ שרײַען צו גאָט, און ער װעט זײ ניט ענטפֿערן;ְ און ער װעט פֿאַרבאָרגן זײַן פּנים פֿון זײ אין יענער צײַט, אַזױ װי זײ האָבן שלעכטס געטאָן אין זײערע מעשׂים.

• In the second statement he reproves Job for having the nerve (Lamentations 3:41) to inquire into matters greater and more wondrous than he can imagine such as the immortality of the soul, the substance of knowledge, free-will and so on. Man does not even comprehend God’s wisdom in those natural things he sees in front of his eyes. And since He has closed the door in front of him (2Kings 4:4), preventing him from entering the inner sanctuary (Leviticus 10:18) to look at God (Exodus 3:6) and to investigate metaphysical matters, he should have hidden his face (Micah 3:4) and not climbed God’s mountain or even touched its edge (Exodus 19:12).
