3Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

3Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

3Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

4Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and inform me.

5I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee:

5I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

6Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.

6Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

6For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

6Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.

8Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks 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 him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

8Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks 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 him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

8And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
