42:1 Then Job answered the Lord:

2 “I know that you can do all things;

no purpose of yours can be thwarted;

3 you asked, ‘Who is this who darkens counsel without knowledge?’

But I have declared without understanding

things too wonderful for me to know.

4 You said, ‘Pay attention, and I will speak;

I will question you, and you will answer 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 I repent in dust and ashes!”
