1. Then Job answered the Lord:
2. “I know you can do everything. You make plans, and nothing can change or stop them.
3. You asked, ‘Who is this ignorant person saying these foolish things?’ I talked about things I did not understand. I talked about things too amazing for me to know.
4. “You said to me, ‘Listen, and I will speak. I will ask you questions, and you will answer me.’
5. In the past I heard about you, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6. And I am ashamed of myself. I am so sorry. As I sit in the dust and ashes, I promise to change my heart and my life.”
