Olam 2

In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether <i>millstone</i>.

When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

I know that thou canst do every <i>thing</i>, and <i>that</i> no thought can be withholden from thee.

Who <i>is</i> he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

Wherefore I abhor <i>myself</i>, and repent in dust and ashes.
