Romans 11:32-36
King James Version
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
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!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Romans 11:32-36
Contemporary English Version
32 All people have disobeyed God, and that's why he treats them as prisoners. But he does this, so that he can have mercy on all of them.
33 (A) Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand his decisions or explain what he does?
34 (B) “Has anyone known
the thoughts of the Lord
or given him advice?
35 (C) Has anyone loaned
something to the Lord
that must be repaid?”
36 (D) Everything comes from the Lord. All things were made because of him and will return to him. Praise the Lord forever! Amen.
