Judith 8:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ You can’t sound the depths of a person’s heart or comprehend the thoughts of that person’s mind. How then will you search out God, who made all these things? How will you understand God’s mind and comprehend God’s thoughts?

“No, brothers, don’t provoke the Lord our God, ¹⁵ even if he chooses not to help us in the next five days. God has the power to visit us in however many days he wishes or to destroy us in front of our enemies. ¹⁶ Don’t attempt to block the plans of the Lord our God. God isn’t like a human being who can be argued with, a person who can be threatened.
