Baruch 3:21-35 World English Bible (WEB)

21. neither understood they the paths thereof: neither have their children laid hold of it: they are far off from their way.

22. It has not been heard of in Canaan, neither has it been seen in Teman.

23. The sons also of Agar that seek understanding, which are in the land, the merchants of Merran and Teman, and the authors of fables, and the searchers out of understanding; none of these have known the way of wisdom, or remembered her paths.

24. O Israel, how great is the house of God! and how large is the place of his possession!

25. great, and has none end; high, and unmeasurable.

26. There were the giants born that were famous of old, great of stature, and expert in war.

27. These did not God choose, neither gave he the way of knowledge to them:

28. so they perished, because they had no wisdom, they perished through their own foolishness.

29. Who has gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought her down from the clouds?

30. Who has gone over the sea, and found her, and will bring her for choice gold?

31. There is none that knows her way, nor any that comprehendeth her path.

32. But he that knows all things knows her, he found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore has filled it with four-footed beasts:

33. he that sends forth the light, and it goes; he called it, and it obeyed him with fear:

34. and the stars shined in their watches, and were glad: when he called them, they said, Here we be; they shined with gladness to him that made them.

35. This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted of in comparison of him.
