Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA
New International Version NIV
1 Job answered the LORD:
1
Then Job replied to the LORD:
2 I know you can do anything; no plan of yours can be opposed successfully.
2
“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 You said,"Who is this darkening counsel without knowledge?" I have indeed spoken about things I didn't understand, wonders beyond my comprehension.
3
You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
4 You said,"Listen and I will speak; I will question you and you will inform me."
4
“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’
5 My ears had heard about you, but now my eyes have seen you.
5
My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Therefore, I relent and find comfort on dust and ashes.
6
Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
