Job 42:5

5 I had heard about you with my own ears, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.

Job 42:5 In-Context

3 "[You said,] 'Who is this that belittles my advice without having any knowledge [about it]?' Yes, I have stated things I didn't understand, things too mysterious for me to know.
4 "[You said,] 'Listen now, and I will speak. I will ask you, and you will teach me.'
5 I had heard about you with my own ears, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 That is why I take back what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry."
7 After the LORD had said those things to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz from Teman, "I'm very angry with you and your two friends because you didn't speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done.
