¹ And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: --

^{2 Ref} Thou hast known that `for' all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is `any' device:

^{3 Ref} `Who `is' this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

^{4 Ref} `Hear, I pray thee, and I -- I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.'

^{5 Ref} By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

^{6 Ref} Therefore do I loathe `it', And I have repented on dust and ashes.
