⁴ “Behold, I am insignificant; what can I respond to You?
I ^(A)place my hand over my mouth.
⁵ Once I have spoken, and ^(B)I will not answer;
Even twice, and I will add nothing more.”

² “I know that ^(A)You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
³ ‘Who is this that ^(B)hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things ^(C)too marvelous for me, which I did not know.
⁴ ‘Hear, now, and I will speak;
I will ^(D)ask You, and You make me know.’
⁵ I have ^(E)heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my ^(F)eye sees You;
⁶ Therefore I reject myself,
And I repent in dust and ashes.”
