Job 40:4

4 “I’m not worthy. How can I reply to you?
I’m putting my hand over my mouth. I’ll stop talking.
Job 40:5
New International Reader's Version
5 I spoke once. But I really don’t have any answer.
I spoke twice. But I won’t say anything else.”
Job 42:2-6
New International Reader's Version
2 “I know that you can do anything.
No one can keep you from doing what you plan to do.
3 You asked me, ‘Who do you think you are to disagree with my plans?
You do not know what you are talking about.’
I spoke about things I didn’t completely understand.
I talked about things that were too wonderful for me to know.
4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
I will ask you some questions.
Then I want you to answer me.’
5 My ears had heard about you.
But now my own eyes have seen you.
6 So I hate myself.
I’m really sorry for what I said about you.
That’s why I’m sitting in dust and ashes.”
