Job Speaks
I Admit That I Was Wrong
1Then Job answered the Lord,
2“I know that you can do everything
and that your plans are unstoppable.
3“⸤You said,⸥ ‘Who is this that belittles my advice
without having any knowledge ⸤about it⸥?’
Yes, I have stated things I didn’t understand,
things too mysterious for me to know.

Then Job answered the Lord and said:
“I know that you can do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

Then Job replied to the Lord:
“I know that you can do anything,
and no one can stop you.
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.

Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
“I know that you can do all things,
and any scheme from you will not be thwarted.
‘Who is this darkening counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I uttered, but I did not understand;
things too wonderful for me, but I did not know.

KJV 1900King James Version
Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
I know that thou canst do every thing,
And that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Who is he that hideth counsel
Without knowledge?
Therefore have I uttered that I understood not;
Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
