1  Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

 

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

 

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

 

4  Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

 

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

 

6  Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
