"Ma'as" is usually "despise", in the sense of thinking something to be
insignificant, and NOT as "abhore". I think that he's saying "I shall be
insignificant [in my own eyes] like dust and ashes". Nothing to do with
"repenting in dust and ashes".

Re: Job 42:6

What is the best rendering of "ma'ac" in this verse?

If, "despised", who or what is the object?
