⁴ “Behold, I am insignificant; what can I say in response to You?
I ^(A)put my hand on my mouth.
⁵ I have spoken once, and ^(B)I will not reply;
Or twice, and I will add nothing more.”

² “I know that ^(A)You can do all things,
And that no plan is impossible for You.
³ ‘Who is this who ^(B)conceals advice without knowledge?’
Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things ^(C)too wonderful for me, which I do not know.
⁴ ‘Please listen, and I will speak;
I will ^(D)ask You, and You instruct me.’
⁵ I have ^(E)heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my ^(F)eye sees You;
⁶ Therefore I retract,
And I repent, sitting on dust and ashes.”
