Job 42:1-6
God's Marvellous Love
Then Job answered the Lord and said: “I know that You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore, I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’ “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Therefore, I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.”
Commentary
“God’s marvellous love of man is made known to him when he is in the midst of circumstances that cut off his hope; herein God shows His power by saving him. A man can never learn what divine power is while he abides in comfort and a spacious living. Moreover, God has never perceptibly shown His action except in a region of stillness, in the desert, and in places bereft of chance encounters with men and of the turbulence of their habitations.”

~ St Isaac the Syrian
