¹³ Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

¹⁵ That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

²⁷ For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?

¹⁰ declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not `yet' done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;

¹¹ calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.

¹¹ in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.

³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

¹³ Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?

¹² And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are `in' their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

¹¹ He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

⁴³ Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. Psalm 108 A Song, A Psalm of David.

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

¹⁴ Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

²⁹ When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether `it be done' unto a nation, or unto a man:

¹⁰ If he pass through, and shut up, And all unto judgment, then who can hinder him?

¹² Behold, he seizeth `the prey', who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
