1. Then Iyov answered Hashem, and said,
2. I have da'as that Thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted.
3. Who is this that hideth etzah (counsel) without da'as? Therefore have I judged without understanding things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4. Shema, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will ask of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.
5. I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ozen, but now mine eye hath seen Thee.
6. Therefore I abhor myself, and nichamti (I am sorry, I make teshuvah) in dust and ashes.
