Job 42:1-6

The Webster Bible WBT

1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

2 I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withheld from thee.

3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.

5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye seeth thee.

6 Wherefore I abhor [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.”
