Job 42:1-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

² ‘I know that you can do all things,
    and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
³ “Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?”
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
    things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
⁴ “Hear, and I will speak;
    I will question you, and you declare to me.”
⁵ I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
    but now my eye sees you;
⁶ therefore I despise myself,
    and repent in dust and ashes.’
