1. Then Job answered the Lord, and said:
2. I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.
3. Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.
4. Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
5. With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.
6. Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
