  • Job 42:1-6

    Job’s second response

    42 Job answered the Lord:

    I know you can do anything;
        no plan of yours can be opposed successfully.
    You said, “Who is this darkening counsel without knowledge?”
        I have indeed spoken about things I didn’t understand,
        wonders beyond my comprehension.
    You said, “Listen and I will speak;
        I will question you and you will inform me.”
    My ears had heard about you,
        but now my eyes have seen you.
    Therefore, I relent and find comfort
        on dust and ashes.
