⁷ “Can you fathom^(A) the mysteries of God?
    Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
⁸ They are higher^(B) than the heavens^(C) above—what can you do?
    They are deeper than the depths below^(D)—what can you know?^(E)

    and convenes a court, who can oppose him?^(H)

    and when he sees evil, does he not take note?^(I)
12 But the witless can no more become wise
    than a wild donkey’s colt^(J) can be born human.^[a](K)
