[42:1] Then Job answered the Lord and said:
[42:2] “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
[42:3] ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
[42:4] ‘Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you make it known to me.’
[42:5] I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you;
[42:6] therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
