Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2
"I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
3
You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4
Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, 'I will question you, and you shall answer Me.'
5
"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You.
6
Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes."
