³⁰ Do you think I am lying?
    Don’t I know the difference between right and wrong?

¹¹ The ear tests the words it hears
    just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.

⁶ Don’t people complain about unsalted food?
    Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg?^[a]

³ You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’
    It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about,
    things far too wonderful for me.
⁴ You said, ‘Listen and I will speak!
    I have some questions for you,
    and you must answer them.’
⁵ I had only heard about you before,
    but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
⁶ I take back everything I said,
    and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”
