Selected verse

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’

therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand,

things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak;

I will question you, and you will answer me.’

I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,

but now my eye sees you.

Therefore I abhor myself,

and repent in dust and ashes.”
