"Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.""
— Job 42:6, World English Bible
“Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
“Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes. ”
“Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes!”
“Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.”
“For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.”
“Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' therefore I have uttered that which I did not 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."
It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
