Job 42:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 Job answered the LORD:

2 I know you can do anything; no plan of yours can be opposed successfully.

3 You said,"Who is this darkening counsel without knowledge?" I have indeed spoken about things I didn't understand, wonders beyond my comprehension.

4 You said,"Listen and I will speak; I will question you and you will inform me."

5 My ears had heard about 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."
