42

Then Job replied to the Lord:

“I know that you
can do all things;
no purpose of yours
can be thwarted.

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.

You said, ‘Listen now,
and I will speak;
I will question you
and you shall answer me.’

My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you.
Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes.”

~ Job 42:1-6, New International Version
