From Reconciling understandings of Scripture and Science
Jump to navigationJump to search
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
- . . .
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Referred to by Ken Chalmers here as "a lesson which we must all learn when it comes to the topic of Creation and God’s handiwork" and by Jonathan Pogson here as an example of the respect shown in Scripture for the witness of the natural world.
