⁴ “I am ·not worthy [small]; I cannot answer you anything,
    so I will put my hand over my mouth [^Cto indicate no more talking].

² “I know that you can do all things
    and that no plan of yours ·can be ruined [is impossible; can be hindered].
³ You asked, ‘Who is this that made my ·purpose [^Lcounsel; advice] ·unclear [hidden] by ·saying things that are not true [^Lignorance; 38:2]?’
    Surely I spoke of things I did not understand;
    I talked of things too wonderful for me to know.
⁴ You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
    I will ask you questions,
    and you must ·answer [inform] me.’
⁵ My ears had heard of you before,
    but now my eyes have seen you.
⁶ So now I ·hate [despise] myself;
    I will ·change my heart and life [^Lrepent], ·and will sit in [^L…in] dust and ashes [^Cfor his questioning of God, not for anything that led to his suffering].”
