Job's Confession and Repentance

Job 42:1-6

42
Chapter 42
1 Then Job answered the LORD and said, 2 I know that you can do all, and no scheme is beyond you. 3 Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I said that I do not understand—wonders beyond me, and I do not know. 4 Please listen, and I will speak. I will ask you, and you inform me. 5 By the hearing of the ear I had heard of you, and now my eye has seen you. 6 Therefore I reject it and am comforted over dust and ashes.
