1. Then Job replied to the Lord:
2. I know that You can do anythingand no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
3. You asked, “Who is this who conceals My counsel with ignorance? ” Surely I spoke about things I did not understand,things too wonderful for me to know.
4. You said, “Listen now, and I will speak.When I question you, you will inform Me.”
5. I had heard rumors about You,but now my eyes have seen You.
6. Therefore I take back my wordsand repent in dust and ashes.
