Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number.

“How long will you speak these things, And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

“For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers;

He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number.

‘And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You:

“Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light.

Job’s Despondent Prayer

“Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide myself from You:

For You write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.

Let him not trust in futile things, deceiving himself, For futility will be his reward.

“I have heard many such things; Miserable comforters are you all!

Yet He filled their houses with good things; But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such things are with Him.

“Behold, God works all these things, Twice, in fact, three times with a man,

God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
