26 Behold, God is (A)exalted, and (B)we do not know Him;
The (C)number of His years is unsearchable.
27 For (D)He draws up the drops of water;
They distill rain from its [a]celestial stream,
28 Which clouds pour down;
They drip upon mankind abundantly.
29 Can anyone understand the (E)spreading of the clouds,
The (F)thundering of His [b]pavilion?
