Job Retracts

42 Job answered Adonai and said:

“I know You can do all things;
    no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
You ask, ‘Who is this,
    who darkens counsel without knowledge?’
Surely I spoke without understanding,
    things too wonderful for me which I did not know.
You said, ‘Hear now, and I will speak;
    I will question you,
    and you will inform Me.’
I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
    but now my eye has seen You.
Therefore I despise myself,
    and repent on dust and ashes.”
