⁴ Job: Oh, I am so small. How can I reply to You?
        I’ll cover my mouth with my hand, for I’ve already said too much.

² Job: I know You can do everything;
        nothing You do can be foiled or frustrated.
³     You asked,
        “Who is this that conceals counsel with empty words void of knowledge?”^[a]
    And now I see that I spoke of—but did not comprehend—
        great wonders that are beyond me. I didn’t know.
⁴     You said, “Hear Me now, and I will speak.
        I’ll be asking the questions, and you will supply the answers.”^[b]
5     Before I knew only what I had heard of You,
        but now I have seen You.
⁶     Therefore I realize the truth:
        I disavow and mourn all I have said
        and repent in dust and ash.
