But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man’s judgment. Yes, I don’t judge my own self.For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
“ I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.You asked,‘ Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t 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.”
