1 Then Job answered the Lord,
2 “I know that you can do everythingand that your plans are unstoppable.
3 “⌊You said,⌋ ‘Who is this that belittles my advicewithout having any knowledge ⌊about it⌋?’Yes, I have stated things I didn’t understand,things too mysterious for me to know.
4 “⌊You said,⌋ ‘Listen now, and I will speak.I will ask you, and you will teach me.’
5 I had heard about you with my own ears,but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 That is why I take back what I said,and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry.”
