    and considers their crafty devices.
For the Most High knows all that may be known,

    and he reveals the tracks of hidden things.
20 No thought escapes him,
    and not one word is hidden from him.

    and he is from everlasting and to everlasting.
Nothing can be added or taken away,
    and he needs no one to be his counselor.
