3 Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

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.

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.

You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’

5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.

8 Now therefore, take to 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 I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
