1. Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2. I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from thee.
3. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.
5. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye seeth thee.
6. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
