⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

⁷ Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

⁸ It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

¹² For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

¹² But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

¹³ Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

²⁰ Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

²¹ Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

²⁶ Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

²⁹ Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
