Job 42:5 in Context — Job 42

3 ¿Quién es el que oscurece el consejo sin ciencia? por tanto yo denunciaba lo que no entendía; cosas que me eran ocultas, y que no las sabía.

4 Oye, te ruego, y hablaré: te preguntaré, y tú me enseñarás.

5 De oídas te había oído; mas ahora mis ojos te ven.

6 Por tanto [me] aborrezco, y me arrepiento en el polvo y en la ceniza.

7 Y aconteció que después que habló Jehová estas palabras á Job, Jehová dijo á Eliphaz Temanita: Mi ira se encendió contra ti y tus dos compañeros: porque no habéis hablado por mí lo recto, como mi siervo Job.
