Job 42:3-5
Contemporary English Version

3 (A) You asked why I talk so much
    when I know so little.
I have talked about things
that are far beyond
    my understanding.
4 (B) You told me to listen
    and answer your questions.[a]
5 I heard about you from others;
now I have seen you
    with my own eyes.
