Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:
“Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know? Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.
How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep!
that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
The Almighty—we cannot find him; he is great in power; justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory—
Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen.
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”
You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.
who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.
that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.
As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable.
may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
Why do you contend against him, saying, ‘He will answer none of man's words’?
