Without knowledge?
Therefore have I uttered that I understood not;
eThings too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

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

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.
