2. “I know that you can do anything,and no one can stop you.
3. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about,things far too wonderful for me.
4. You said, ‘Listen and I will speak!I have some questions for you,and you must answer them.’
5. I had only heard about you before,but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6. I take back everything I said,and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”
