Job 42:1-6

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Then [at last,] Iyov gave ADONAI this answer:

2 "I know that you can do everything, that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

3 "[You asked,] 'Who is this, hiding counsel, without having knowledge?'Yes, I spoke, without understanding, of wonders far beyond me, which I didn't know.

4 "Please listen, and I will speak. [You said,] 'I will ask questions; and you, give me answers'-

5 I had heard about you with my ears, but now my eye sees you;

6 therefore I detest [myself] and repent in dust and ashes."

New International Version NIV

1 Then Job replied to the LORD:

2 “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

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 now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’

5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.

6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
