Job Submits Himself to the LORD

Then Job replied to the LORD

2 

“ I know that You can do all things

and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

3 

You asked, ‘Who is this

who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’[fn]

Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,

things too wonderful for me to know.

4 

You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak.

I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’[fn]

5 

My ears had heard of You,

but now my eyes have seen You.

6 

Therefore I despise [myself],

and I repent in dust and ashes.”
