Read in context

Job 42:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

5 My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.

6 Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.
