‘Please listen, and I will speak;
I will (A)ask You, and You instruct me.’
I have (B)heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my (C)eye sees You;
Therefore I retract,
And I repent, sitting on dust and ashes.”

You said,[a] “Listen and I will speak;
    I will question you and you will inform me.”

    but now my eyes have seen you.
Therefore, I relent[b] and find comfort
    on dust and ashes.
