2. “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
4. “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’
5. My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
