Job's Humble Confession
Commentators explain that Job is quoting God's own words from chapter 38 back to Him. When God asked, "Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?" Job now responds, "I am that man." He confesses to speaking presumptuously about divine matters that were far beyond his understanding. This act of repeating God's challenge as his own confession demonstrates profound humility and true repentance.
