7. “Can you discover the essence of God?Can you find out the perfection of the Almighty?
8. It is higher than the heavens – what can you do?It is deeper than Sheol – what can you know?
9. Its measure is longer than the earth,and broader than the sea.
10. If he comes by and confines youand convenes a court, then who can prevent him?
11. For he knows deceitful men;when he sees evil, will he not consider it?
12. But an empty man will become wise,when a wild donkey’s colt is born a human being.
13. “As for you, if you prove faithful,and if you stretch out your hands toward him,
14. if iniquity is in your hand – put it far away,and do not let evil reside in your tents.
15. For then you will lift up your face without blemish;you will be securely established and will not fear.
16. For you will forget your trouble;you will remember it like water that has flowed away.
17. And life will be brighter than the noonday;though there be darkness, it will be like the morning.
18. And you will be secure, because there is hope;you will be protectedand will take your rest in safety.
19. You will lie down with no one to make you afraid, and many will seek your favor.
