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. 4. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 5. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. 6. Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.

Thou canst. Job acknowledges God’s omnipotence.

Can be withholden. Job acknowledges God’s omniscience (see Psalm 44:21 ; 139:2).
