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 understandingthings 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.
