³ That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

²⁷ Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

²⁸ Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

¹⁹ Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

⁸ And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

⁹ The Lord's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

² Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

³ So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
