5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; |
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. |
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? |
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? |
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. |
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? |
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it? |
12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. |
