1 respondens autem Baldad Suites dixit
1
Job, can't people like you ever be quiet?
2 usque ad quem finem verba iactabitis intellegite prius et sic loquamur
2
If you stopped to listen, we could talk to you.
3 quare reputati sumus ut iumenta et sorduimus coram vobis
3
What makes you think we are as stupid as cattle?
4 qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo numquid propter te derelinquetur terra et transferentur rupes de loco suo

You are only hurting yourself with your anger. Will the earth be deserted because you are angry? Will God move mountains to satisfy you?
