Ecclesiastes 11:5

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.

This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God’s Spirit.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.

Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

“Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me,

Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

to him who alone does great wonders; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him and prospered?

“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.

Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.

who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;

We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out?
