Job 42:1–6

JOB REPLIES TO THE LORD

42 Then Job replied to the Lord:

2 IA know that you can do anything

and no plan of yours can be thwarted.f

3 You asked, “Who is this who conceals my counsel with ignorance?”g

Surely I spoke about things I did not understand,

things too wondrous for me toB know.h

4 You said, “Listen now, and I will speak.

When I questioni you, you will inform me.”

5 I had heard reports about you,

but now my eyesj have seen you.

6 Therefore, I reject my words and am sorry for them;

I am dust and ashes.C,D
