2
"I know that thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be thwarted.
3
'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4
'Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you declare to me.'
5
I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee;
6
therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
