Surely I spoke of things I did not understand
Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted. You asked,‘ Who is this that obscures My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. You said,‘ Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’ My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42: 1-6).

”Afterward, as Jesus walked down the street, he noticed a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Teacher, whose sin caused this guy’s blindness, his own, or the sin of his parents?”
Jesus answered, “Neither. It happened to him so that you could watch him experience God’s miracle.”
John 9:1-3 (TPT)
The disciples also initially got it wrong.
Jesus corrected their understanding.
Today before you speak on that issue or offer your insights on that person
Do you really understand what God is doing?
Job finally did, he repented, and God restored him much more than his beginning.
