Job 42:3-6

English Standard Version

^3 (A)‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
    things ^(B)too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
⁴ ‘Hear, and I will speak;
    ^(C)I will question you, and you make it known to me.’
⁵ I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
    but now my eye sees you;
⁶ therefore I despise myself,
    and repent^[a] in ^(D)dust and ashes.”
