1. Job answered Adonai and said:
2. “I know You can do all things; no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
3. You ask, ‘Who is this, who darkens counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke without understanding, things too wonderful for me which I did not know.
4. You said, ‘Hear now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will inform Me.’
5. I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye has seen You.
6. Therefore I despise myself, and repent on dust and ashes.”
7. After Adonai had spoken these words to Job, Adonai said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken about Me what is right, like My servant Job has.
