Job Is Humbled and Satisfied

42Then Job answered the Lord:
²‘I know that you can do all things,
   and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
³“Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?”
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
   things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
⁴“Hear, and I will speak;
   I will question you, and you declare to me.”
⁵I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
   but now my eye sees you;
⁶therefore I despise myself,
   and repent in dust and ashes.’
