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 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 make it known to me.’
5. I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,but now my eye sees you;
6. therefore I despise myself,and repent in dust and ashes.”
7. After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
