I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 42 of Job. Job finally responds by acknowledging that God can do all things and that none of his purposes can be thwarted. He confesses that he spoke about realities he did not understand and states that he has now heard and seen in a transformative way. His repentance can be understood as a correction of his claim to understand and judge divine government, not as a confession of the specific sins his friends attributed to him.

Ich hatte von dir mit den Ohren gehört; aber nun hat dich mein Auge gesehen.
De oídas te había oído; Mas ahora mis ojos te ven.
De oídas te había oído, pero ahora mis ojos te han visto.
Mon oreille avait entendu parler de toi; Mais maintenant mon oeil t'a vu.
Io avea con gli orecchi udito parlar di te; Ma ora l’occhio mio ti ha veduto.
Com o ouvir dos meus ouvidos ouvi, mas agora te vêem os meus olhos.
我從前風聞有你, 現在親眼看見你。
