Job 42:1-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Then Job replied to the Lord:

2 I know that You can do anything and no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

3 [You asked,] "Who is this who conceals [My] counsel with ignorance?" Surely I spoke about things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

4 [You said,] "Listen now, and I will speak. When I question you, you will inform Me."

5 I had heard rumors about You, but now my eyes have seen You.

6 Therefore I take back [my words] 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.”
