Job 42:2

God's power and sovereigntyGod's will and callingFaith

1 Then Job replied to the LORD:

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

3 You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’
