""I know that you can do anything and that no one can

stop you. You ask who it is who has so foolishly denied

your providence. It is I. I was talking about things, I knew

nothing about and didnot understand, things far too

wonderful for me. (You said,) Listen and I will speak! Let

me put the questions to you! See if you can answer

them!

(But now I say,) I had heard about you before, but now I

have seen you, and I loathe myself and repent in dust

and ashes.'' Job 42 : 2 - 6
