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 the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul 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 yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

¹⁰ Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the 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 that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

¹¹ In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will 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, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

¹² And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

¹¹ He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

⁴³ Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

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 make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

¹⁰ If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

¹² Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
