| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I know that You can do anything and no plan of Yours can be thwarted. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You asked, "Who is this who conceals My counsel with ignorance?" Surely I spoke about things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You said, "Listen now, and I will speak. When I question you, you will inform Me." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5I had heard rumors about You, but now my eyes have seen You. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Therefore I take back my words and repent in dust and ashes. |

| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you. I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has." |
