1 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 I know that you can do all things,and that no purpose of yours can be hindered.
3 “Who is this who obscures counsel with ignorance?”I have spoken but did not understand;things too marvelous for me, which I did not know.
4 “Listen, and I will speak;I will question you, and you tell me the answers.”
5 By hearsay I had heard of you,but now my eye has seen you.
6 Therefore I disown what I have said,and repent in dust and ashes.
