30:19 He has flung me into the mud,
and I have come to resemble dust and ashes.
42:6 Therefore I despise myself, 1
and I repent in dust and ashes!
[42:6] 1 tn Or “despise what I said.” There is no object on the verb; Job could be despising himself or the things he said (see L. J. Kuyper, “Repentance of Job,” VT 9 [1959]: 91-94).
