Job Answers the Lord
42 Then Job answered the Lord[L and said]:
2 “I know that you can do all things
and that no plan of yours ·can be ruined [is impossible; can be hindered].
3 You asked, ‘Who is this that made my ·purpose [L counsel; advice] ·unclear [hidden] by ·saying things that are not true [L ignorance; 38:2]?’
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand;
I talked of things too wonderful for me to know.
