Job 42:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
    I will ask you some questions.
    Then I want you to answer me.’
⁵ My ears had heard about you.
    But now my own eyes have seen you.
⁶ So I hate myself.
    I’m really sorry for what I said about you.
    That’s why I’m sitting in dust and ashes.”
