42:1 Iyyov requests God’s forgiveness
42 Then Iyyov answered Yahweh:
2 I know that you can do everything,
≈and no one can stop you from doing what you want.
‘Who’s this concealing counsel without knowledge?’
That’s why I spouted out things I didn’t understand—
things that are too wonderful for me—that I didn’t know.
4 Listen now, and I’ll speak.[ref]
I’ll tell you my question and you can inform me.
but now I can see you with my eyes.
6 Therefore I despise myself for what I said,
and I show my repentance by sitting in dust and ashes.
Yob 38:2:
2 Who is this giving bad advice,
with words that are lacking knowledge?
Yob 38:3:
3 Get ready to battle[fn]like a man,
and I’ll question you and you can answer me.
38:3 Lit. ‘Gird your loins’. In a robe-wearing culture, it was normal for a man to tuck the bottom of his robe up into his belt to clear his legs to be able to move more freely—perhaps to run, but also to fight.
