Job 42:1-6

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said: 2 I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no purpose can be withholden from Thee. 3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. 4 Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me. 5 I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee; 6 Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am dust and ashes.
