Iyyov requests God’s forgiveness

Job 42:1–6

42Then Iyyov answered Yahweh:

2I know that you can do everything,

≈ and no one can stop you from doing what you want.

3You asked, [ref]

‘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.

4Listen now, and I’ll speak.[ref]

I’ll tell you my question and you can inform me.


5I’d heard you with my ears,

but now I can see you with my eyes.

6Therefore I despise myself for what I said,

and I show my repentance by sitting in dust and ashes.

Yob 38:2:

2Who is this giving bad advice,

with words that are lacking knowledge?

Yob 38:3:

3Get 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.
