1. Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2. “I know that You can do everything,and that no thought can be withheld from You.
3. ‘Who is he 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. “ ‘Hear, and I will speak;I will question you,and you declare to 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.”
